Mr. HEMI & Mrs. HEMI

When I was 15 years old, I saw the commercial for the new 1966 Dodge Charger during the Rose Bowl. That car was a winner! My friends were buying other makes and models but I was going to join the “Dodge Rebellion” and become a Dodge Boy. I ordered my silver ’66 Charger with the 383 engine as I could not afford the extra money needed for the new street HEMI® setup. The car arrived in March 1966 but it had to sit for another month until I turned 16 and took my driver’s license test in April.
