in the year 1966.
Since then, the Charger has become one of the most iconic American cars of all time—most famously featured on the hit television series, The Dukes of Hazzard.The 1966 Charger was the first vehicle to feature the fastback roof design. It also featured rotating hidden headlights, four bucket seats, and a full-length center console, and came in four engine options:

- 265 horsepower 5.9-liter V-8
