Daily Monkey | 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T

Car names tend to invoke power or magnificence, but in the case of the Dodge Coronet it’s name is much more benign. A “lesser crown” a coronet is not grandiose in nature, but then again why would a 1950s full-size eight passenger Dodge be anything other than just that? It would be years before the Coronet would evolve in design and performance to the late 1960’s variation engrained in most memories.

By 1967 Dodge had come a long way and the Coronet name was adapting to reflect the upgrades with a R/T trim and Hemi. The Coronet had officially outgrown its name. The ’67 R/T was a two-door available in either a hardtop or convertible and came stock with Chrysler’s largest engine of that time, a 440-cid V8. The Hemi, just a year old, was an option for the ’67 Coronet.
