Throwback Thursday: 1969 DODGE HEMI CHARGER 500

The 426 HEMI engine introduced by Chrysler in 1964 gave racers an instant supremacy over the competition, but as GM and Ford gained ground with their own exotic power plants, Chrysler engineers turned to aerodynamics to regain the edge on the track. In 1968, Dodge introduced a redesigned Charger with a stylish new form incorporating Coke-bottle contours, a new recessed grille using the original's hidden headlights, a "flying buttress" roof with recessed rear window and minimal bright trim. The new Charger enjoyed a sixfold increase in sales, but it was still aerodynamically limited even with HEMI power at hand, so for 1969, a homologati... Read more

1938 Packard Twelve

In 1933, Packard introduced the twelve-cylinder model Twin Six to the more prestigious name "Twelve". The models 1005 and 1006 now had wheelbases of 3607 mm and 3734 mm respectively. The V12 engine was adopted unchanged from the previous model: its cylinder angle was 67 °, the bore 87.3 mm and the stroke 101.6 mm. This gave a displacement of 7300 cm 3.

How Do Power Car Windows Increase Passenger Safety?

Power windows are responsible for approximately 2,000 emergency room visits every year. When a power window closes, it exerts enough force to bruise or break bones, crush fingers, or restrict an airway. Though power windows exert large amounts of force, they are still largely considered safer than manual car windows.

1. Power windows can be controlled by the driver. No matter how many times you tell a misbehaving child to leave their power window switch alone, they may still keep pressing the button to open their window. The driver has a master set of window controls to close any window that is open on the car. This simple devic... Read more
