Vehicle Highlight: History of the Dodge Challenger

When it comes to the Dodge Challenger, it's a toss up between the new and improved present-day Dodge Challenger vs. the classic Challenger.

The first generation of Dodge Challengers came out from 1970-1974. This vehicle was introduced as a Pony car which is an affordable, compact, and sporty-looking vehicle. It is also one of the most popular and ferocious muscle cars out there. In 1970, there were more than 84,000 of the first generation Dodge Challenger's sold. 

From 1978-1983, the second Dodge Challenger was created. The second generation was not as popular as the first generation and was considered to be too similar to the Japanese Mitsubishi. Sales of the Dodge Challenger for the second generation were between 12,000-14,000 units per year. This is nothing like the success of the first generation. 

The third generation Challengers are from 2008-current. In 2008, the Dodge Challenger SRT8 was revealed at the Chicago Auto Show. The third generation consists of the 5.7L Hemi Engine, 375 horsepower, 410 Pound feet/Torque, 5 speed automatic, and 25-27 miles per gallon. 

This type of Challenger is modeled after the first generation. It is a very hot buy in the current market because it looks like the 70's style, but still modern with technology, comfort, and style. The first and     third generation Challengers both contain the same grille, belt line, roof line and headlights but the new Challenger is bulkier and taller than the first generation. 

What generation is your favorite?

Here at Larry H. Miller Dodge Ram Avondale we provide a wide selection of Dodge Challengers.

Evolution of the Dodge Charger

The introduction of the Dodge Charger started back in 1966. 

According to Edmunds.com, "The original Charger was handsome from most angles and awkward from some — the roof and deck lid looked overly massive from directly behind. But the body was aerodynamically stable and relatively slick. The Charger was not an instant hit, with Dodge selling just 37,344 examples during the inaugural season — and only 468 of them had the Hemi. But it established a unique presence in the market as a premium muscle machine. "

The 1967 Dodge Charger ("Second Generation") was used in the 1969 TV show "Dukes of Hazzard." The famous "Lee 1" (the charger that jumped over the police cruiser in the first episode) was sold at auction for $121,000 (Autoblog.com).

As time went by and technology advanced, the Dodge Charger played a role in other movies and television shows such as:

 Fast and Furious  

The Twilight Zone

Vega$

Smallville

Semi-Pro

Grand Theft Auto

Gone in 60 Seconds

Starsky and Hutch

Mission: Impossible 

Emergency!

Jumping forward to the 2014 Dodge Charger, it has gone through a massive makeover since 1966. There are trims such as SE, SXT and SXT Plus which allow a customer to have more freedom in customizing their vehicle. The different trims focus on combined needs and wants.

   

"The 2014 Dodge Charger SE, SXT and SXT Plus models feature the lightweight, 292 horsepower

3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 aluminum engine for up to 31 mpg highway (with eight-speed transmission). With Rallye, Blacktop or Redline packages, the V-6 adds a cold air induction system generating 300 horsepower and 31 mpg. With the legendary 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, the Dodge Charger R/T, R/T Plus, R/T Road & Track and R/T Max, deliver 370 horsepower and up to 25 mpg on the highway with innovative four-cylinder mode Fuel Saver Technology. The Dodge Charger can be ordered with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive configurations." - Chicago Auto Show

Avondale Dodge Proud: 2014 Ram 1500 is Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year

At Avondale Dodge we pride ourselves on being a team that is passionate about the vehicles that we sell. With a no-commission sales team we can focus on knowing the Dodge and Ram vehicles inside and out. So we weren’t surprised when Motor Trend named the 2014 Ram 1500 the Truck of the Year, we were excited…but not surprised! 

Want to know more about Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year? Here’s what makes this truck and the diesel engine in it so impressive:

V6 Turbodiesel 240 Horse Power…
· Diesel contains 15% more energy than gasoline.
· Diesel burns slower, which means lower RPM’s.

Better fuel mileage…
· MPG Estimates: City 19 MPG, Highway 26 MPG, Combined 21 MPG
· Compare to GMC Sierra at City 15 MPG, Highway 20 MPG, Combined 17 MPG

Motor Trend put the truck to the test of the worst owners…
· Our testing represents the type of hard driving to which the toughest of owners will subject their trucks. After these tests the Ram still returned 15 MPG while competitors were in single digits with one truck at 10 MPG.


2014 Ram 1500 Amenities include…
· Two touch screen options are available; 5 inches or 8.4 inches and the system and interface does a great job of controlling simple and complex tasks.
· Keyless entry and start.
· Adjustable pedals.
· Bluetooth and voice recognition.
· Smartphone app connectivity, and even a WiFi mobile hotspot.
· Ample legroom in both front and back.
· Laramie edition comes with wood grain trim and leather upholstery.

We’re proud to carry the Motor Trend Truck of the Year, especially when you note that the award has never, in it’s 34-year history, been given to the same truck two years in a row—until now!

Big Game Preview 2014

Are you ready for the Big Game this weekend? Here at Avondale Dodge, we are excited for the game and the commercials to come!

Dodge and Ram have been keeping quiet about whether or not they are going to show a commercial during the game this year, but based off of last years success, we wouldn't be surprised if they bring out something even more creative. Although we don't know how much more creative you can get after receiving Best "Game Day" ad on YouTube last year. It is also one of the top 19 Best "Game Day" ads of all time.

As if 16 million hits on their 2013 Game Day commercial "So God Made a Farmer" isn't enough, the commercial was actually based on a speech given by Paul Harvey in 1978.  The voice in the commercial is Harvey himself.

 

For all shares and downloads of this commercial, Dodge will donate to the Indianapolis-based National FFA Organization. The goal was to raise one million dollars. 

What are your thoughts on "So God Made a Farmer" and what are you hoping to expect from Dodge or Ram this year? If this video pulls on your heart strings like it did ours, come stop by our store this weekend!
