The Dodge Charger is a model of automobile marketed by Dodge. The first Charger was a show car in 1964. A 1965 Charger II concept car had a remarkable resemblance to the 1966 production version. There have been several different production variants of Chargers, built on three different platforms and sizes. In the United States, the Charger nameplate has been used on subcompact hatchbacks, full-size sedans, muscle cars, and personal luxury coupes. Seven generations of Charger have been built: 1st Gen (1966-1967), 2nd Gen (1968-1970), 3rd Gen (1971-1974), 4th Gen (1975-1978), 5th Gen (1981-1987), 6th Gen (2006-2010), and 7th Gen (2011-2021).
