the history

“A 343% sales increase last year, and we’re not through yet. The new 1969 Charger is still five-passengers big-more trim, more shapely. Once you’ve seen it for yourself, you’ll agree that the 1969 charger (the only family-sized sports car) is a beautiful success. Again.

This year, you have more Charger models from which to chosose. First, there’s the standard Charger-the kind of car most people would sacrifice anything to own. Fortunately, they don’t have to.

Next. there’s Charger R/T-leader of the Dodge Scat Pack. (The entire Pack is lined up for inspection on page 13.) Charger R/T is the supershape with the aggressive Dodge 440-cu-in. Magnum V-8 under the Hood. Rock steady on its special heavy-duty R/T Rallye Suspension. Controlled by oversized police-type drum brakes. Bucket seats and yourchoice of either the full synchromesh 4-on the floor or 3-speed Torque Flite automatic transmission are standard equipment.

This year, there’s still another Charger model. The “SE” for “Special Edition”. This is the Charger for the man who knows the feel of real leather when he sits on it. Available on either standard Charger or R/T chassis. It’s all here. And all standard. Genuine leather and and vinyl foam-padded front buckets, sports type steering wheel. Light Convienience Package simulated wood-grained instrument panel and insets and hood-mounted turn signal indicators.

Another Charger model, the Charger 500, available only with the 426-cu-in. Hemi V-8, is offered specifically for the high performance racetrack (not suitable for street use). This model is available only to qualified performance participants and is being built on a limited-production basis.”
