History

Built to make motoring fun


“The Charger II reflects a number of engineering, styling and consumer thoughts. It is a car embodying good aerodynamic characteristics.  Seating is an important item.  Therefore, we decided on a four place car as opposed to a two-seater fastback. It is a study and an evaluation of exterior lighting applications.  Evaluation of flow-through ventilation applications.  A clean design, exterior and interior, that is permitted by the elimination of side vent windows and the flow-through ventilation.  We are thinking that perhaps the Charger II is a possible answer to consumer interest in sportier, fastback type cars.  And, our building of the car is an expression and even an exercise in the exploration of this theme.”
