The late-60s “Fuselage” Dodge Charger represents a high-point in American Muscle Car style. Opinions to the contrary will be disregarded. That said, how do you take something awesome and make it more so? Go topless, of course!
The 1968 Topless Charger’s name earns it both the Most Literal and Most Likely to Horrify a Conservative Executive Titles. Alas, given the pictures we see here, there’s little to suggest they capitalized on the obvious marketing potential of a Statutory Grape Topless Charger. Dense prose aside, the Topless Charger shed its roof, shrank its windshield and covered the back seats with a nacelle-ed hardtop thing to be sheer awesome.
But wait, there’s more! What do you do with the Topless Charger once the novelty’s worn off (feh! as if that’s possible)? You make it Super! The 1970 Super Charger took everything you loved about the Topless Charger (heh) and added an electrically adjustable rear wing and the nosecone from the Charger Daytona. The result was long, wide, pointy and planar all at the same time.

Aeroscreens FTW!
I love topless cars, and not just for the double-entendre. From the Fireball 500 to the Peugeot Peugette to the Arial Atom to a Brooklands-equipped Locost, this is the most motorcycle-ish cars can get, and I like that.

Holy cow, Nancy Sinatra and her whole gang of go-go dancers could sunbathe nude on that back deck!
True, but you don't need a big American car to support your local go-go dancers.

I'm work, so I'll have to wait three hours before I look.
Dammit, get those heels off the trunk!
Why have I never seen these before? Unbelievable cars! I wonder where these cars are now?
I'm betting those are two iterations of the same car. Probably went to the crusher, knowing Detroit.
Because you never knew any Dutch people posting about American muscle cars while referring to Russian websites. Got it?
The only way to top this is to make it monoposto.

I think that Super Charger likes me.
Holy hot car batman! those are hot cars!
I'm not much of a Dodge fan past or especially present but those Chargers I'd give my left nut for, particularly the one with the Daytona nose. Massive, heavy, powerful and sexy, these cars are the full package. Kinda like me, except you'd never want to see me topless.
I'm not really a muscle car fan, but I adore that Super Charger.
