Although I appreciate the 66 Chrysler overall styling, this roof styling IMO truly fits BRUTAL. Never understood how it was even considered. The fast back Coupe was much better suited to the chassis. But, fortunately we can STILL have our own opinions! Not sure how much longer 😕. 🙏
All the mid-llate 1960’s big MoPars are peak Chrysler. I really like the roof too!
I like this roof line much more so than the ’67.
When I was a kid, I found these 1964+ hardtop roofs off-putting. I love them now, and this may have been the peak variety.
One of my coworkers had an old Dodge and the hood was huge. The trunk lid is also very large on these things.
“I’ve got a Chrysler as big as a whale, and it’s about to set sail!” – ‘80s pop reference, “Love Shack,” wrong year but nevertheless relevant. 🙂
