Explain this to me please
« on: September 13, 2008 - 09:37:26 PM »
Can someone explain to me the differences between the different body styles of Dodge, Plymouth, and Chrysler(A,B,D, etc.) I know the names of the models, but I don't know what bodies they are.
I have nothing. go ahead and laugh. but when I get my something, prepare to be awed

I'm certainly no expert, but this is what I have picked up over the years.  The A Body is the small car (Dart, Duster, Barracuda (66-69), the B Body is the midsize (Charger, Satellite, etc), C Body is the full size (Newport, 300, Fury), and then Th E Body was more of the sport coupe (Challenger, Cuda 70-74).  Hope this helps.

B" bodies are road runers, satelites , GtX super bee, coronet, etc, big platform cars
