(click the image to go back)
Take another look, we don't have a two-fer this month.
Those are one 1965 Dodge Coronet AFX Altered Wheelbase
Dodge model you see above. Ron Dreschler modeled two of
the most exciting harbingers of the Funny Car era in this
one car.
For the 1965 drag racing season Chrysler produced six
of these altered wheel base Dodge Coronets (along with
six Plymouth Belvederes) that had the centerlines of the
front and rear wheels were moved forward under the bodies
and the wheelbase shortened by more than 5 percent. This
placed maximum weight on the back axles and better used
weight transfer to optimize off the line traction.
