A great picture, although the 'General Lee' paint job isn't my favourite - there was a dark green with a black roof which looked amazing. The previous shape Charger (the '66/'67) was also a beautiful car and also the later 1970 500. Goodness knows what went through their heads from 1971 on, but by the time production finished with the then latest shape, they had changed it from one of the worlds most beautiful cars, to one of the blandest vehicles ever made.
