To a Mopar fan , saying any Dodge car is a "forgotten" model borders on heresy, but if we face facts, there were some stinkers in the mix. Rather than dwell on the negative ones, we want to redirect your attention to some of the forgotten Dodges that are worthy of being remembered before it's too late. Some were the right cars born at the wrong time, or were overshadowed by their unfortunate position in history relative to world events or competitors.
To be clear, HOT ROD thinks all the old Dodge cars on our list are worthy of saving because as the years click by it's becoming more difficult to find them-but before that can happen, you must know what they are! See if you agree with our picks, and how much you can remember about these old Dodges.

The Horizon/Omni wasn’t a copy of the VW Rabbit, it was built by Simca to replace the Simca 1100. And Chrysler owned Simca at the time and most of the design and engineering was done by Chrysler in Detroit. And it was VW that studied the Simca 1100 when they were making the first generation Rabbit/Gulf. Up until that point, VW was only making rear engines, rear wheel drive cars/vans. The 1967 Simca was instrumental in VWs decision to move to front wheel drive and transverse engines in all of their new vehicles. Yes, some of the first Horizon/Omnis did come with a VW sourced engine, but it was heavily modified by Chrysler for use in the US. It was enlarged from 1.5 liter to 1.7 liter and used heads, intake, carburetor, and exhaust designed by Chrysler. So no, Chrysler didn’t copy VW to make the new Horizon/Omni, it was VW that copied much of what would be the predecessor of the Horizon/Omni to make the Golf/Rabbit.

And the Omni/Horizon actually got better MPG than the Rabbit using that same engine which pissed VW of to no end. The Germans didn't under stand that more bottom end torque meant the driver didn't have to go as deep into the throttle to get the thing moving.

My wife has a 76 Aspen wagon. The only reason the Aspen was the most recalled car is the front fender rust. Very few in comparison were recalled for anything safety related. My wifes has a 318, beefed up 904 (998) with a tow package, limited slip rear and factory AC. Because its first year when the fenders were the worst it has factory replaced fenders due to the recall. Its actually a blast to drive for a 70s wagon. Its also one of the only cars that I know of that has been categorized as a small, midsize, and fullsize without changing in size.

@@BrianPatterson-tl8xc Exactly correct. The original 2.2 was carbureted, then in around 87 /88 they switched to the single injector T.B.I. unit. The final evolution of the 2.2 family grew to a 2.5 liter in both turbo and non turbo versions. Also, I can't recall which exact years, but the K-car family also offered the incredibly horrible Mitsubishi 2.6 liter 4-cylinder boat anchor as well. Good lord what a piece of garbage that engine was. Although they were mostly installed in Caravan's and Voyager's,I have ran across a couple of oddball Reliant's & Aries K-cars with the 2.6 Mitsushitty installed. I also caught a HUGE speeding ticket in a 86 Shelby Omni GLH back in the day. Those little critters could scoot, and with a few tweaks, and a set of sticky front tires....were solid mid 12 second runners.

I remember some of my friends buying Aspens and Volares because they were cheap. One friend's white (with the light blue half vinyl top) Aspen started to rust around the base of the radio antenna when the car was 6 months old. Another friend had the same car as a Volare, he had his for almost a year. I told him about the rust so we go out to the car and he pulls the antenna and lets it "sproing" and it falls down into the fender. The entire base was rotted out. I also recall them not starting well in the cold due to some problem with the automatic choke. Some cars deserved to be remembered, not the Volare/Aspen

@@MichaelRoy-hc3lz North Carolina, the main source of rust is from getting the drains clogged with pine straw when sitting and water pooling up in the car. Most cars from that era here have rusty trunks and floors from water leakage, there used to be a leak on mine where water would drip on the back floor pan, it rotted the carpet but it didn't even disturb the paint underneath, could be the TT4 tan paint is really good, or all the water evaporated because the car gets unbelievably hot in direct sunlight. It is the basest of base model coupes, slant 6 automatic, no AC, AM radio, no fancy side moldings, VIN class E for Economy. Anyway that car is probably the most reliable one I own, it cranks at the touch of a key every time, winter or summer. I drive it to work every other day. My grandpa loved those cars for use on his mail routes because of the durable engine, brakes, and suspension, he'd get about 300k out of one before the dirt roads ate the body off of it, slant 6 and drivetrain still running good. He bought the '80 for personal use and only put about 100k on it before he gave it to me.

Way too many inaccuracies in this video to list, so I'll limit mytself to just one for a change. Or I'll at least try anyway... That part about the 1975 Charger, when you went off on some weird tangent and brought up the subject of the several years later FWD Charger... The FWD Charger NEVER had anything whatsoever to do with Volkswagen. The 1.7L VW engine was only used on the Dodge Omni/Plymouth Horizon for, as far as I know, only the base models and from '79 through '82. For 1981, the Charger wasn't even its own model yet and was revived only as a "performance" package for the Omni 024, which among other things, got you the Chrysler Corp. 2.2L engine. This is where I get a little fuzzy on things, but I believe the 024/Charger package was spun off of the Omni for 1983 with the 024 designation being dropped altogether and the Charger being sold as its own model, while the Omni soldiered on as its own model. These Chargers weren't hideous either. Overall, they were actually well received and were pretty stylish for the era. Some of the previous gearheads weren't too thrilled about them, but that was more to do with using the Charger name on a four cylinder powered car than with the car itself. You got the '75 and '81 Chargers backwards too. It's actually the '75 Charger that should be the forgotten one.

I had a 77 dodge monaco brome! The car wasn't bad but with the 225 slant six it wasn't the best option for this car! However it was a dependable car! I just didn't like the rust it accumulated in 5 years! It had the fake named corentian leather which was anfictishous lie!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="152">2:32</a> Those aren't quad headlights. The seven-inch dual-function headlights are placed under a brow-type leading edge of the fender with a much smaller parking/turn signal lens in an attempt to mimic the quad light appearance. Some DeSoto, Chrysler, and Imperial cars were equipped with quads as an option in some markets where they were legal, but no '57 Dodges or Plymouths were so equipped.

That is exactly what he said in the video, listen to it again. He said that the new body style ushered in quad lights, but not until 1958 when quad headlights became legal in all states. The designers knew this and when they designed the front end in 57, they did so in a way that quad headlights could be used in 58 with very little modifications. All that was needed was a different cover plate for the quad headlight setup. And he even points out that, at 2:32, these are not quad headlights but the larger headlight with a smaller turn signal.

Thats why the torsion suspensions are still available in kit form for hot rods right? Because they were so terrible... My wife's 76 Aspen wagon rides like a dream and eats speed bumps. My best friend and I since high school spent 6 years worth of weekends building his 65 barracuda up from a stripped basket case and other than the PITA to replace the bushings on the torsion bars it has been great. After we shortened a Ford 8.8 rear for it we were able to level the car with a ratchet in about 20 mins. Even my 02 Durango had the same style torsion bar suspension and I have never had a problem with one in my life.

The stupidity going on with American Legends caused me to take back my "Like." A complete trashing of the 3-door version of Chrysler's L-Platform cars, like they are the worst machinery ever built. Then a total glorification of the 5-door version of Chrysler's L-Platform cars, for the version with a little more power and glossy decals. The truth is all of the L-Bodies were good cars and even better when Chrysler got their own American engine into them. The L-Body cars shouldn't even be on the list here because millions of past owners never forgot how much they loved theirs.

I think my Aspen was recalled six times, for stuff like battery acid dripping on brake lines, carburetor fails at high speed, etc. One of the struts broke loose and the left front tire bounced like a basketball. Not my favorite car.

What year was it? I thought 76 would have been the worst but my wife's has been pretty damn trouble free with the recall swapped fenders. Then again it does have a 4bbl swap so carb problems from the OEM 2bbl carb wouldn't be something we would know about.
