Dodge Magnum


 
 

Magnum
Dodge did make a Magnum back before the modern Hemi! This one was made in 1978 and 1979 and replaced the Charger in the lineup. One body style was available, 2-door coupe. Enhancements such as sunroof or-top were available. An interesting feature it had were the opaque retractable headlamp covers. It was sold in two trim levels, XE and GT. The GT added a heavy duty suspension package.
