The 1968 Charger marked the introduction of the second generation and included a new design with new hidden headlight grille, curvier body, recessed backlight, refined tail, and less chrome.
In the fall of 1969, the similar 1970 Plymouth Barracuda and Dodge Challenger were introduced; the Dodge was three inches longer in wheelbase than the Plymouth.
The 1970 Shelby Mustang would be the last year from Shelby. Around 789 1969 Shelbys went unsold, so they were updated with new VINs under FBI supervision, and twin black hood stripes were added along with a Boss 302 type chin spoiler.
The 1954 Buick Skylark was radically restyled and featured elongated wheel cutouts with the interior of them being available in contrasting color to the body color. The trunk was sloped into a semi-barrel shape.
The Buick Roadmaster Skylark was introduced to commemorate Buick's 50th anniversary. It was released as one of three specialty convertibles produced by GM.
The 1968 cars were renamed Shelby Mustang Cobra GT350/GT500/GT500KR, reflecting Ford's recent use of the Cobra name in all of its performance vehicles and parts.
Shelby introduced a new model in 1967, the GT500. The GT350 continued to house the 289ci, while the GT500 received the larger 428ci. Shelby now began parting ways from the basic Mustang model to make the cars look more performance-oriented, while also being able to deliver that performance.
There were not a lot of major changes to the 71 Challenger bodywork except for a new grill and rear panel. The cars came standard with the “power bulge” hood, and the shaker hood was an option.
