This was actually a filmstrip. The electronic "tones" were meant to cue the projectionist to advance to the next frame-- or, if the projector was "automatic", and linked to the record player with the soundtrack, IT did the work (the flip side of the record featured a soundtrack without "tones" for automatic use).
Never being a Mopar guy, but I still have to admit these cars were awesome. To me the chase scene in Bullit immortalized the Charger more than anything else, even more so than the Dukes of Hazzard. I had an uncle that had a 69 Coronet 440 with the Dog Dish hubcaps. First thing he did when he got that thing home was took them off and threw them away, drove it around like that the whole 10 years he owned it.
A couple of buddies and I were all MOPAR Guys back in the mid 70's. I had a couple of 1969 Roadrunners and friends had a '68 GTX (440), '70 Challenger r/t (340) plus a couple of Darts and Dusters all late '60's, early '70's models. I remember that in 1969 the Roadrunners had the 426 Hemi option for $900 from the dealer. I don't know anybody who bought the Hemi because the 383 Magnum (standard engine) and 440's were so damn fast! $900 was a lot of money in 1969. Had a guy bought one of these 1967 Chargers with the Hemi they are worth a fortune now because so few people shelled out that lousy $900. I could kick myself...
The Hemi was $895 in the 1969 Roadrunner and Superbee, but in the GTX and R/T, the Hemi was $495, because the 440 cars already had Hemi suspension, Hemi fuel lines and Hemi mufflers. The 1969 1/2 440 Six Pack cars were sold at cost, because they were experimenting with hydraulic lifters, with the Street Hemi valve springs. If they had any trouble, they wanted them back to examen them, before using hydraulic lifters in the 1970 Hemi. The 1969 1/2 440 Six Pack cars were the best deal.
That's one of the few things that I *don't* miss. The stalk-mounted ones are so much more convenient and are far better for flashing. I also don't miss the foot activated parking brake, but I absolutely hate the electronic parking brake on my Lincoln. Give me back my hand lever!
I guess I better get my action ass over to my Dodge dealer and open up my action money and get an actual action Dodge because I need some action. actually
i own a 66 charger with a 361engine all originel,with original owners manual and certi card that came with the car,but man i would love to go back in time and get a brand new 66 and 67 charger!
If I had three wishes, the first would be being young, fit and healthy again. The second would be an inexhaustible supply of money. The third would be a time machine where I could take a modern Mercedes/BMW/Audi/Maybach/Bentley etc and just drive into one of these dealerships. Wouldn't that be fun..?
@@Pro1er In 1968, the precursor agency to the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's first Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards took effect. These required shoulder belts for left and right front-seat vehicle occupants, side marker lights, collapsible steering columns, and other safety features. 1969 saw the addition of head restraints for front outboard passengers, addressing the problem of whiplash in rear-end collisions. These safety requirements did not apply to vehicles classified as "commercial," such as light-duty pickup trucks. Thus, manufacturers did not always include such hardware in these vehicles, even though many did passenger-car duty.[citation needed] Volvo developed the first rear-facing child seat in 1964 and introduced its own booster seat in 1978.[48]
@@WALTERBROADDUS I asked what car had more safety features but you can't name one, so let's look at Chrysler's background and cover just one area of innovation, brakes. Chrysler products were the first mass-produced cars that: used four-wheel hydraulic brakes, power brakes, four-wheel disc brakes, had the first mass-produced car equipped with four-wheel antilock disc brakes (1971 Imperial). Chrysler was once known as the “engineer’s” car manufacturer because they were a leader in mechanical and safety innovations. Watch the videos this user has posted and you will learn that Chrysler was in front of the pack when it came to safety compared to its competitors.
Has anyone ever noticed that the charger and the coronet share the same dimples... The coronet has them on the rear. The charger has them in the door. So did dodge use coronet panels in the doors?
+daviesakiller These productions were film strips, usually shown on an automatic projector. The audio was a record, and each beep caused the projector to advance one frame.
Amazing how marketing back then was chalked full of dumb names for everything, for example "Action Styling" - Also how much nonsense they spew about minor details like moving a button 2 inches up on the dash will prevent you from crashing everything you drive your car.
