Let’s face it, most comebacks suck. The new Superman? Sucked. 1970’s fashion? Still sucks. Brian Williams delivering honest news? OK, we probably never saw that..
One thing that made a killer comeback, though, was the Dodge Challenger. The Challenger first appeared in the late 1960s as Chrysler’s answer to the pony cars of the day. The 1969 and 1970 Challenger may be the most recognizable muscle car of the period. Then the oil crisis, government fuel economy restrictions, and so forth all but destroyed the muscle car boom. For a period, the challenger became a cheap, knockoff rebadged Mitsubishi. This nearly destroyed its powerful name.
