The Dodge brand has always been known to offer a wide range of mid-priced automobiles that offers something for everyone.

People from all demographics have been known to appreciate, even humanize their vehicles. Some are so attached to their vehicles that they feel a personal bond with them and even name them. Enthusiasts everywhere have their own idea of what constitutes the perfect car. In the 1970’s, the average person owned one car and for that reason, wanted to make sure they chose wisely.

1970 was a crucial year in the history of Dodge.

Models first released in 1970 were very telling in the story of the Dodge brand history. The brand rolled out a number of revamped and updated automobiles that turned a lot of heads. These models gave a new meaning to the concept of horsepower.

Let’s face it… the need for speed is a legitimate desire!

Engines were quieter, faster and more efficient (for the time). Attractive options were more available including automatic transmissions, the hemi engine and security systems.
