Prototype 1970 Hurst Golden Charger!!!

Just as the major auto manufacturers had concept cars, so did those various companies such as Hurst that specialized in working with the manufacturers to create low-volume specialty cars. Two of the lesser-known Hurst concepts were the Swinging Bee and Merada, based respectively on the Dart Swinger and the Charger R/T and presented to Dodge in March of 1969. Bob Lichty had the full story on the two in SIA #95, October 1986.

Ce n'est pas que les mags Craggar sont laids.
C'était un produit "aftermarket" à la mode à une certaine époque.

Aujourd'hui, les amateur(e)s de chars sont plus portés sur l'originalité.

Rien empêche les mags Craggar de revenir à la mode dans 5 ou 10 ans.

Il ne faut rien jeter au poubelle dans le monde de l'automobile, ça peut toujours reservir un jour...

P.S. Les queues de renard attachées à l'antenne de radio, les dés en minou accrochés au rétroviseur et le petit chien avec la tête qui branle sur la plage arrière font parti de l'histoire automobile.

Question fondamentale : pourquoi poser des roues Cragar quand on peut poser des Magnum 500 d'origine ?

In response to what he called a "strength and style deficiency" in the current custom-wheel offerings, Richter decided to manufacture an affordable high-quality wheel of his own. He would sell it under the old Cragar name, which he had acquired from the Wight estate. In addition to his native instinct for proper engineering, Richter possessed a sense of aesthetics. Seeking both rigidity and good looks, he spent two years designing and testing what was to become the Cragar S/S, the most popular, most imitated, and most successful custom wheel in history. Bagnall says the S/S "featured a major breakthrough in materials and manufacturing techniques." Richter patented a process whereby the steel rim was attached to the aluminum alloy center by pressure casting. Although no rivets or screws were employed, the design resisted a force of 42,000 pounds before the center separated from the rim-a figure more than 50 percent higher than that of the competition.
