There are currently only seven generations of Dodge Charger, beginning in 1966 when the first Charger car saw the light of day. Of course, a few years before that, there were a couple of prototype cars built to show off what buyers had in store for them in the near future. The first was a show car made in ’64, and the second was a concept car shown in 1965. From those designs and with positive feedback from their potential buyers, Dodge created and produced the first Charger that was available in the fall of ’65 for the following model year.
