- This 1975 Dodge promotional film, titled " The Charger Special Edition ", was sent to Dodge car dealerships to be used as an in-house Sales personal training film. Sales Personnel were to show the film to potential buyers prior to the test drive. The film highlights technical aspects and features of the new model year.
This film came from my personal collection. This film was not downloaded from any website and is not reused content. This restoration is my work. The restoration process started with removing the super8 film from the Kodak Model B Movie Film Cartridge. The film came printed on magnetic sound Eastman film stock. After removal the film was cleaned, repaired, and spooled onto a standard film reel. Next the scanning to digital process was performed on the Lasergraphics Scanstation motion picture film scanner in 2k resolution. Excess film grain noise was removed and the images upscaled to 4k resolution utilizing Topaz AI software. Then extensive color correction was performed in Davinci Resolve. Finally, the film was downscaled back to 2k for uploading to CZcams.
I really love the style of the 1975 Charger.
These films are amazing! Thanks for sharing
Glad you like them! I keep watching them over and over myself. thanks for watching
I had one of these in the late 90s early 2000s. I got really good at changing out the brake booster and fuel pump on mine lol.. Awesome 361 engine. Rust bucket with fat tires in the back. Miss that car.
You mean 360 engine
A priceless artifact. Thank you for sharing this restored video.
Glad you enjoyed it, i am working on more of these
What a difference a name makes! The Chrysler Cordoba was a much-needed success, the Charger SE less so.
if i only had my hands on a late 60's hemi car
Yes.
You know it's the 70s when even the cars have shag.
1970's and 1980's.
The Charger name has graced so many different types of cars over the years. Many of the "luxury" features are now standard equipment on lowly entry level vehicles. I love the "lap vent" (aka "crotch cooler" or "ball cooler"), and John Davis from Motorweek would be impressed that it has an oil pressure and volts gage!
you are an awesome color man. you said ball cooler
Ball cooler! 🤣🤣🤣 good one.
It was quite a dramatic change of image in this case...from fire-breathing beast, to emasculated beast, to poncey Brougham.
The little Aussie Charger was an angry little bastard (R/T E49) that was also available as a stripped out cream puff (base Charger with a 245ci six and 3spd manual.) Never reached its potential, but it looked the part.
Way better than anything GM offered.
My US Navy car was a 1975 Charger SE. With a Moon roof, Red power 40-60 buckets seats. Red with the, half black vinyl roof. 360 Cid engine.
Stunning material! Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome upload! Great find!!!!!
Thanks, I was lucky enough to come across about 75 of these Chrysler films. About a third are car promotionals and the rest are on diagnostic and repair. Stuff like differential, carburetors, suspension, emissions, electrical, etc. I even have a copy of the arrow film you have posted.
My brother bought one of these new, sold it to my parents shortly after. I remember being dropped off to kindergarten in it.
“It’s a new kind of Dodge… in fact, it’s a Cordoba!”
and to come fine corinthian leather
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 I get the feeling that Corinthian leather was probably only on the Cordoba and that crushed velour was as high end as the Charger got.
I like the looks of these better than the Cordoba, especially, as far as the grille and tail light treatment. However, it looks like they sold a lot more Cordobas than these.
Charger SE was ALWAYS the more luxurious Charger; the first one was offered five years before this particular version.
I'm surprised the Fuel Pacer system wasn't illegal as implemented (with a dedicated light on the dash it'd be fine). Even though the Light Package turn indicators were never meant as repeaters to be seen by other drivers, depending on the styling they could be.
On the Cordoba/Charger SE, on top of the headlight tunneling which was higher than the fender blade they probably came closer than on any other car until the Omni/Horizon which had no "blade" to the fenders whatsoever.
Amazing!
glad you are enjoying them
Awesome video, any more you can get like these PLEASE upload!! JUST SUBSCRIBED!!!
I wonder if they're fudging about the added windshield glass area, and by "last year's intermediate Dodge" they mean "last year's intermediate Dodge *coupes*". The cowl/windshield frame is the most expensive single stamping on a car body and is seldom changed for less than a full redesign, but if it was the same one the 4-door sedans and wagons had used since 1971 it would be considerably cheaper to design a coupe body around. If that's the case the windshields should interchange.
good question. Detroit always tries to reuse as much as they can
I remember when these came out strictly a copycat of the chevrolet Monte carlo and grand prix the beginning of when emission regulations took the performance out of previous performance engine offerings good video
such a change from the chargers only a couple years earlier.
@@theemulsionalchemist5688 absolutely as with most mid size and full sizes of the mid 70s luxury replaced performance and economy became a buying factor
At the 2:55 mark did they change up the Charger with a Cordoba? The flair around the capital C is very different than when they show the close-up Charger nameplate in the beginning at the 10 second mark.
2:57-3:00 Cordoba emblem on fender
Can someone tell me A, who does the voiceover & B, who does the music?!!
👍👍
thanks, 2 thumbs up
I miss old Blowpars
I will take an " A " body with a hemi
How they presented a car that clearly is a Cordoba
2:21 proves that babes were more babe like back then .
