That is the SE version of the Challenger. The SE had lots of trim options as standard as well as the smaller rear window.

The smaller window was created by using a filler plug that fitted into the stock opening. A vinyl roof was needed to cover the join between the roof and the plug.

Read my website at www.dodgechallenger.co.uk for details.

I am just wondering how you noticed it was smaller. I can hardly tell it is a couple of inches smaller just at a glance and I know what I am looking for.
Unless you saw a drasticly customised car?

I cannot say that I agree with you there, Dave. :s008: Maybe not as noticeable at night and on a 1 km distance though. :wink: :biggrin:

I wondered how a high school kid that had not seen one before or years since would notice was what I meant Christer. I wouldn't have noticed when I was in school.

I see....

From what I have heard, the smaller rear window was supposed to make the car look wider. I donĀ“t know if its true or not though.
