1968 Dodge Charger III Concept; Chrysler designed and built the car from scratch in secret in an old, rundown Detroit building (remember, it's 1968 and Occupation Safety and Health Administration—an American agency—didn't exist). With a push of a button, the canopy door swings open and the passenger seats elevate 20cm (8in) and the steering wheel swings away to make way for the driver and passenger to get in and out. There were many gauges under the hood that measures the engine coolant, oil levels, battery power, and so on. It was the most technically advanced car of that time that never made it into production. Some of its design lines and cues survived 28 years and appeared on the Dodge Viper GTS, which went into production in 1996. The Charger III's whereabouts are unknown. Probably abandoned in an old, rundown Detroit building.
