Dodge Coronet Seventh generation

By 1976 was the last year for the Coronet; In 1977, the models in Monaco - until then the larger Dodge model - renamed and got rectangular headlights and other minor changes, which became an instant sales success. The two-door coupe was sold in 1976 under the name Dodge Charger Coupe . It joined with this designation alongside the Dodge Charger S / E, which was a derivative of the Chrysler Cordoba . Only sedan and wagon bodies were offered. Wagons had a standard 360 cu. in. V-8, while the sedan was powered by a 225-cu. in. Slant Six or optional 318 V-8. Single round headlamps sat in square housings. Curved-side amber parking lamps were mounted in the bumper, below the headlamps. Wide horizontal taillamps were set into the back bumper, with backup lenses in the centre of each unit and a recessed license plate housing in the middle.
