Dodge Charger 3rd Gen
As the muscle car era entered the 1970s, the third-generation Charger embraced a more aggressive and imposing look. The front end was updated with a divided grille, and the rear featured a distinctive boat tail design. However, changing market conditions and tightening emissions regulations led to a shift in the Charger’s focus. It evolved from a pure muscle car to a more luxurious personal luxury coupe. While performance options were still available, the Charger began to cater to a wider audience.
