In (or about) 1968, my mom decided she wanted/needed a new car. She was partial to Chrysler products.

I told her that she should get a Charger.

She actually went to a dealer and asked about it. The saleman couldn’t figure out why a middle-aged woman would want a Charger, so he asked her what was up.

She allowed as how her son had recommended it. The salesman asked her how old I was, and she said 19.

That was the end of that.

She ended up with a Coronet, which was basically the same car. I did succeed in convincing her to go with the 318, so it was a partial victory.

Yay...my mom got her first new car - a '67 Cherry Red in/out Dodge Coronet 440 - V8 318 - 2 door.

I learned to drive in that car, it was fast, fun to drive. Hated when she traded it 10 years later.
