To Kick Off Brand's Centennial Dodge Introduces 100th Anniversary Edition Charger and Challenger

by TTAC Staff

Published: November 21st, 2013

On November 14, 1914, after 11 years of supplying Henry Ford with components and rolling chassis, Horace and John Dodge started selling cars with the Dodge Brothers brand.

This weekend, we’ll be running a historical piece to commemorate the start of Dodge’s centennial celebration, which Chrysler chose to kick off by introducing a couple of special edition Dodges at the Los Angeles auto show. The 100th Anniversary Edition Dodge Charger and Challenger feature red pearl paint, 20 inch wheels, and special anniversary badging. Buyers will receive a special key fob and a number of books about the Dodge brand’s history. Inside, die-cast badges that say “Dodge Est. 1914” are on the seat backs.

Great car. The issue for Dodge though is the refresh is coming out soon - will be a the next NYC auto show I guess. Supposedly the very nice 8 speed ZF auto is coming to the Challenger and its going to lose a few inches (maybe).. OTOH this car might be better - if you like the standard tran and want a backseat. Almost none of the muscle cars have a backseat except for these two.. It'd be nice if they offer a charger with a manual. People think its demand that prevents this but its actually regulations. If the regulations would be different they would offer a manual on a order from the factory basis in the Charger.

Just spring specials, last of the current 2011 intro'd car. The LA show always lags in comparison to the other shows that follow it. Big ones for Chrysler (that I know of) will be Detroit and New York (the latter showing the 2015 fully refreshed Charger / Challenger that'll make everyone forget about the ones in this article.

  Sadly, you're right, and not just about Chrysler. November/December is just too close to the Detroit show and just lends itself to a year-end wrap up, at least with Detroit offerings. It's ideal for the Japanese and Korean automakers, but really should be held a couple months earlier, away from Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Ltcmgm78 Just what we need to do: add more EVs that require a charging station! We own a Volt. We charge at home. We bought the Volt off-lease. We're retired and can do all our daily errands without burning any gasoline. For us this works, but we no longer have a work commute.

Michael S6 Nissan seems to be doing well at the low end of the market with their small cars and cuv. Competitiveness evaporates as you move up to larger size cars and suvs.
Cprescott As long as they infest their products with CVT's, there is no reason to buy their products. Nissan's execution of CVT's is lackluster on a good day - not dependable and bad in experience of use. The brand has become like Mitsubishi - will sell to anyone with a pulse to get financed.
Lorenzo I'd like to believe, I want to believe, having had good FoMoCo vehicles - my aunt's old 1956 Fairlane, 1963 Falcon, 1968 Montego - but if Jim Farley is saying it, I can't believe it. It's been said that he goes with whatever the last person he talked to suggested. That's not the kind of guy you want running a $180 billion dollar company.
