The story of the Coronet is a funny one. My dad was laid up with some serious medical issues (he survived), and my mom decided she needed a new car. They always had Chrysler products, so I told her to get a Charger. She didn’t know what that was, so she went to the dealership and asked. The salesman, confronted by a middle-aged woman asking about a Charger, asked her what was up. She confessed that this was her son’s idea, so he asked her how old I was. I was 19. Well, that ended any hope of getting a Charger, but he steered her to the Coronet, so it worked out OK after all!
I just did a google search and it seems Dodge named so many different cars ‘magnum’ that it’s ridiculous
although I did like the station-wagon looking one
