Well, duh - so you managed to find a first gen model - the one model that
decidedly has no resemblance to the Challenger concept car.

I was referring to the E platform models from the early '70s.
Like this one:

Compared to the more angular Challenger sheet metal on the same platform...

....I think the new Challenger looks more like the 'Cuda, with the exception
being the "grill", which is clearly modeled from the old Challenger nose...
