Car Spot: 74 Dodge Charger SE

Still some muscle left in this name 1974 wasn't a great year for the US auto industry as production levels fell by almost two million vehicles, around 22 percent. Poor fuel economy was mostly why buyers turned away from larger and medium-sized cars and preferred compact and subcompact cars. With inflation just above 12 percent,... Continue Reading →

1979 Dodge Warlock II D100 Utiline

Auto World’s latest Warlock not as spooky as its name ... Today it is hard to imagine any vehicle being named Warlock without an entire marketing department being fired and the automaker’s PR staff committed to a mental institution in the aftermath. But Dodge played loosey-goosey with names and color descriptions throughout the 1970s. Remember... Continue Reading →

Diecast: NEO’s 1956 DeSoto Firedome

Pink DeSoto Firedome will light up a display case … Pink was a hot color in the 1950s. Think Florida, think flamingos, think the Latin influence of Cuba and Desi and Lucy. Two-tone cars also were all the rage as the nation climbed out of the gloomy war years into the bustling 1950s. So, a... Continue Reading →

2015 Dodge Dart SXT Rallye

Dodge Dart SXT sharp looker, affordable I’ve always liked the lightly regarded Dodge Dart because it’s a sporty looking entry-level car with a low price tag. It’s affordable and doesn’t look like a cheap econobox. I gave it my Zoomie Car of the Year award in 2013. So I was a bit surprised I wasn’t as... Continue Reading →

2015 Chrysler Town & Country S

Town & Country S(exy?) ... no, but Special for a family Are minivans sexy?

Chrysler, via its Dodge and Plymouth brands at the time, started the minivan movement decades ago and... Continue Reading →

One Hellcat of an idea!

Boo! Dodge's new Hellcat is one hell of a car! With a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that makes 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque and will hit 60 in around 3.6 seconds. Wow that's fast! Think how fast you could get to your bank to take a loan out to buy it. How much will... Continue Reading →

Braking News: 2015 Dodge Challenger Shaker

Wow this car is fun! We like the 70 retro looks of this car. Both Mark and I remember the Shaker hoods the first time around. Dodge has done a great job of reproducing the looks. Oh, and the performance, what a hoot. Handling is super too as you'll see when Mark and I took... Continue Reading →

Die-cast: Maisto 2013 SRT Vipers

New Vipers win on value in two scales OK, enough with all the Corvette diecast models. I love Corvettes, but everyone likes seeing something new, and different. So Hello SRT Viper!
