DODGE CHALLENGER MUSCLE CAR

DODGE CHALLENGER MUSCLE CAR:

DODGE CHALLENGER MUSCLE CAR:

• Exterior design was done by Carl Cameron, who also made outside the 1966Dodge Charger. Cameron based the 1970 Challenger grille off an older sketch of his 1966 Charger prototype that was to have a turbine engine. The charger has never had the turbine, but the Challenger got that car's grille. Although the Challenger was well received by the public with 76,935 products for the 1970model year, it was criticized by the press, and the pony car segment was already declining at the time the Challenger arrived. Sales fell dramatically after 1970, and although sales have increased for 1973 with more than 27,800 cars sold model, production ceased in mid-term of 1974 Challenger model.
