68 Coronet

The 68 Coronet launched by the renowned Chrysler Corporation went under the process of restyling. The hardwearing suspension and the bucket seats were some of the regular features that came with the 1968 Dodge Coronet. The restyling gave the 1968 Coronet a smooth look. This model had quadrangle headlamps which were fixed on to the grille. At the back the tail lamps were fitted with a good wide panel.

In this year around ten thousand of the Coronet road and track models were sold and around two hundred models of the four hundred and twenty six cubic inch V8 engine were produced. Just ninety four of Coronet convertibles were manufactured.  The hemi models had great suspension but didn’t have the option of air conditioning. The 1968 model had a heavyweight brake system and came with a speed meter of one hundred and fifty mph. The 68 Coronet also came with unique power bulges.

The Coronet road and track and Coronet Super Bee were really performance oriented automobiles. The Coronet had a novel sheet metal in 68. It measured a little more in terms of length than its previous model and had better arcs too. The pane had superb style arcs which went all the way to back panel. Both these models came with chrome replicated back facing vent.

The 1968 Coronet came in both hardtop and convertible options. The interiors of this model were luxuriously designed and came with map lights, a clock, a tachometer and lots of chrome finishing. It was also available with both the four hundred and forty magnum and four hundred and twenty six hemi engine.

The Super Bee was very distinct from the Cornet road and track model. It was targeting young buyers who wanted some low-priced speed. The Super Bee had a hardwearing suspension system which came with huge torsion bar, good quality springs and shocks. The basic engine was the three hundred and eighty three cubic inches. One could also go in for the hemi engine but it called for huge cash. The double bumble bee stripe which went crosswise from the trunk to the pane looked really hot. This model was a huge hit among all young car lovers.

The 68 Coronet was a big hit, especially with the younger crowd.
