M Bodies	Chrysler Town & Country, New Yorker, and Fifth Avenue of the 1980s
Chrysler Newport	Arguably the first Chrysler to be downsized and tread in Dodge territory, the Newport was a real success story for Chrysler but may have devalued the brand

Charger	The legendary Dodge with the impeccable styling, best known for being on the Dukes of Hazzard.
Coronet and Super Bee	The premium Dodge when first introduced, the Coronet eventually fell to the bottom of the line, and then resurfaced in the middle; in the muscle-car era it spawned the famous Dodge Charger and, later, the Super Bee, Dodge’s answer to the Road Runner.

Barracuda	The famous muscle car...and the earlier, partly-forgotten Eurostyle sports cars.
Belvedere	We have an extensive review of the innovative and trend-setting 1955 Belvedere, and lots of information on the later years as well, through the 1970s when the Belvedere spawned the Road Runner and GTX.
C Bodies	Fury and VIP (discussed along with general C-body stuff)
Duster	The incredible success story that backfired on Plymouth as execs got angry that a project they said would fail, failed to fail. Sound familiar, PT owners?
