The colour is reminiscent of a Hollywood red carpet on this magnificent 1968 Dodge Coronet 500. Passers-by seem to go weak-kneed on first sight as though seeing their favourite celebrity. In a way, it is of great notoriety, for only 203 models were manufactured. The clay model must have been shaped by hurricane winds down a wind tunnel. She wasn’t blessed with a lot of curves - more straight to the point, and an attitude to match, which is evident when Alain Beaudin turns on the ignition. The primordial rumble sounds like some creature dwelling deep in the dark confines of a jungle. It sound goes straight to the bone and rattles it.
