Welcome to the DCR from a fellow 1966 Coronet 500 owner Ray. In the 1985 picture, is the car wearing factory style 1966-67 Charger mag wheel covers?

Hi Richard, Yes, those are the orig that the car was bought with....cool huh? ![]() Anyways, I imagine the dealer added these to the car since it was destined to be "on display" in his lot, on the rotisserie ![]() Thanks, --Ray

Wrench66 Wrote:Hi Richard, Hello Ray, Back in 1966, a person could special order just about any option that Chrysler offered on most vehicles, unlike today where customers are limited on what they can order on any given vehicle. The three spoke steering wheel that you've mentioned is the wood grain steering wheel correct? We've had several interesting discussions on those wheels of various model years. ![]() Seeing as your Coronet was a featured vehicle at the dealership, I'd agree with you that the Charger wheel covers and wood grain steering wheel were added by the dealer to showcase both the car and those particular parts. While the wood grain steering wheel isn't all that unique because it was offered for most all cars that year as I mentioned, having the dealer add a set of the Charger wheel covers is very interesting indeed! ![]() ![]() Richard

Those wheel covers have a cool story that was told to me by the orig owner way back when......seems they were on vacation in AZ sometime when the car was new and had gotten a flat. He called the nice white coated men from AAA and they came to change the damaged tire. One of the men noticed the neat-o wheels the cars was equipped with and then proceeded to put the lug wrench on the wheel cover and crank the center right out of it!! LOL. Luckily there was a Dodge dealer in town who replaced it ![]() ![]() BTW...I do have the CertiCard the car came with. Oh and Andy, that decal is a Lion's Dragstrip decal I put on there the weekend I bought car....we went to the Pomona Swapmeet and drove it in. I found that decal in a small pile of orig stuff and on it went ![]() So many stories, thanks, --Ray
