1978 Dodge Magnum XE Promo Commercial Film

[@busterbear59]

I bought a 78 back in 82. It was the first car i ever bought. Is white, red cloth,60/40 seat, with 400 4bbl and ttops. I still have it, driving on highway at 75 mph, it gets 21mpg! Still my favorite car.

[@averyparticularsetofskills]

Nice!! Do u still have it (12yrs since comment) I never knew the headlight covers opened and I didnt know how completely transparent they were when new.

[@stevenkocik2444]

Bought one brand new from a dealer in hamtramck Michigan. Puter metallic gray, t-tops the works. Out the door price $6,900. I loved that car.

[@frg9600]

My dad bought a '78 Magnum XE sometime around 1979-1980 with around 20 K on the clock. It was a Chrysler executive car, whatever the heck that was. The car was black on black and absolutely stunning being almost brand new. I got my driver's license shortly after Dad bought his Magnum, and it was always a treat when he let me drive it. He just about had a coronary the time I backed it out of our garage and damaged the car's side moulding by getting the back end too close to the side of the garage. One time we were at the grocery store drive up getting our groceries loaded when the Magnum stalled and wouldn't start again. Dad put up the hood to have a look at the engine, and about 30 seconds later a huge gust of wind came up and slammed the hood against the front windshield and shattered it into a million pieces! I'll never forget the look on Dad's face when the wind blew the hood of his beloved Dodge Magnum against the front windshield. Fortunately, the damage was covered by insurance as an Act of God. Thanks for posting this--it brought back a lot of memories of my old man and his Magnum.

[@TralfazConstruction]

My recollection is that the Second Arab Oil Embargo (1979) hammered the sales of this car. My younger brother had a gorgeous red and white Magnum for fifteen years and I was always taken by the styling of these fine-looking coupes.

[@OsbornTramain]

BTW, I was an Employee of Chrysler Corp. in the Sales Department from 1977 until 1980 working in Natick Massachusetts at the Zone Office. I also have the ability to say that I actually drove one of our 78 Dodge Charger SE company cars and while it was in my care, ( a guy hijacked he car from me) It was stolen from me during a Jewelry Robbery at the Natick mall on Route 9. The car ended up in a high speed chase by the Natick Police recovered the undamaged in about 15 minutes.

[@klwthe3rd]

Did you like the 1978 Charger SE or the 78 Magnum XE better? You know they never mentioned the Magnum XE GT?

[@TheSpritz0]

The Magnums were really beautifully styled for back then, very radical for the time I clearly remember!!!

[@tiltingatentropy1215]

I had one of these. bought it in 1995 when I was 19 yo. It was basically my first car as I'd always driven my dad's old 85 dodge pickup to that point. It had a great sound, and was pretty much mint with 78,000 original miles. Paid $1000 for it.

Those headlights were genius!! Way ahead of their time... look what we have today with transparent aero lenses over the lights. The Search-Tune digital radio at 2:19 . . . I have this in my Dodge, and made a video of the operation! Apparently this was a very expensive option when introduced in 1977.

[@Marklin15]

Lake Nipissing makes me wonder what if American cars at the time had glass composite ECE headlights instead of outdated sealed beams. Imagine the different look many American cars could have had which you can see with the clear "covers" they used here.

[@klwthe3rd]

It was a very expensive option. It costs more than the optional 8 track or CB radio. Top of the line.

[@kevinkeeler2764]

I bought a magnum in 1978 enjoyed driving it everywhere

[@81aer2]

Nice to see the original ad. Always wanted to own one when I was younger. Got one now. You rarely see one around, so they're kind of rare. Mines in great shape, completely redone in eggshell white. Only need the rear bumper needs rechromed. Transplanted 340 V8 with 300 HP helps. Parts are hard to come by and the monster barely fits in the garage. Hope to see more of them around. Maybe one day it might be a collector car.

[@OsbornTramain]

@Maichotho They didn't sell to well, so I don't think that many people thought they were cool....but I have to tell yah, I worked for a Chrysler owned Dealer at the time. All our salesmen and the zone office too drove them and they ordered them loaded with the performance packages and all the nice options. Even really nice wheels. I use to love when they were being delivered. I use to love the glove soft leather seats. They were AWESOME Cars and I thought really cool.

[@OsbornTramain]

I am familiar with Allpar and actually have found numerous writings and articles incorrect. I worked for Chrysler, I was there at the time. The Charger was sold in 1978 as was the Magnum, one didn't replace the other, they were both sold at the same time, that's all I'm saying. Magnum was only sold two years 78 & 79. Then replaced in 80 with the Mirada. The Charger sold from 66 to 78 before being discontinued. It's a myth that the Magnum replaced the Charger.

[@79tazman]

The Magnums were built in Windsor Ontario my grandfather worked at Chryslers if you look on the door of a Magnum it will say built in Canada on the tag

[@omartorres5688]

/question are Dodge Magnums good for beginner drivers

[@TheSpritz0]

The MIRADA was an awesome car as well, too bad they didn't really have any commercials for it!! I remember as a young teen going to Transcona Dodge in Winnipeg while my Dad got an Oil, Lube, Filter on his 1973 Chrysler Newport Custom, and sitting in a NEW 1983 Dodge Mirada CMX, it was LOADED!!

[@martinliehs2513]

It's amazing how the 1978 Magnum is almost identical to the Charger SE/Cordoba when viewed from the side. The Magnum's sloping nose, Cord-inspired horizontal grill, and headlamp covers completely transforms the car, making it look much wider than its stablemates when viewed from the front.

[@rustyshackleford1656]

My grandpas got one of these with a 360 all original 20,000 miles show room condition along with a d150, an 81 mirada and a 74 challenger 440 six pack

[@OsbornTramain]

Well, glad you like the uploads, I have a bunch more coming in a few weeks, including a Dodge film from 78 on the Ramcharger vs. the Blazer and Bronco. Even a Acadian Beaumont commercial!

[@OsbornTramain]

The Charger was being made in 1978, the Magnun was sold in tandum. The Charger wasn't a Cordoba clone, frankly, it was the other way around. The Charger and Plymouth Satilite Sebring were based on the B Body platform. Chrysler had no B Body intermediate pre 75. For 75 with the restyling of the Dodge Charger and Plymouth Sebring, at the last minute, they killed the Sebring name for Plymouth and turned the car into a Chrysler and named it Cordoba.

[@cesarflores8450]

My dad bought 79 Cordoba. It screamed 70s Pimp. Black on black. Dualed out got it from a brotha. Oh but that 400 auto. I had no busines driving at 11 but I sure snuck it out a few times when the secondaries opened up on that 4bbl carb felt like the milliniem falcon going warp speed. Ahhh the sweet sound of fuel and air getting sucked into combustion and spit out the duels....

When i was a kid living in a rural town in Texas during the late 70s , i walked To school but when i walked back home---i would take a different route into a neighborhood i wasn't suppose to walk through just to get a look at this guy--he was smokin' hawt with his shirt off ,shades ,T-tops off and wonderful smile ... But ... The Magnum was Super in Size and comfort... This car was awesome too ...nah , Really thought this car was something in my future..

Damn she had lot's of options how many digital readout radio's were out in 78 not to many

[@OsbornTramain]

"in Tandem" means, together, they were both 1978 models built on the same assembly line at the same time with the Cordoba as well. All three were built "in tandem". I worked for a Dodge Dealer in 77 thru 80, we sold Chargers in 1978, but no where near as many as Magnums.

[@klwthe3rd]

So your dealership sold alot of Magnums back then? Very kewl.

[@orange70383]

That lock-up converter made it feel like you had a four speed automatic.

[@wilsixone]

Oh wow, I remember an acquaintance of mine had this exact vehicle in black! Around 1982 it was and the one thing that stuck in my mind was that it had that O/D transmission. Back then it was no doubt THE only vehicle that had that feature and of course it became ubiquitous in the 80s as pretty much every vehicle had overdrive.

[@klwthe3rd]

A lockup torque converter is NOT an overdrive gear. Those cars had a 3 speed automatic. A 4 speed automatic would be one with overdrive.

[@wilsixone]

@@klwthe3rd okay, right I got you. Yes, just a regular TF 727 with torque converter lockup. My mis-speak. So, I know electric torque converter lockup was nothing new, but it was different anyway as I don't think any other vehicle - or other THAN Chrysler anyway - could be had with that feature.

[@OsbornTramain]

Go ahead, continue an urban myth. Everything on the web is 100 percent correct. Because the car replaced the Charger in NASCAR doesn't mean it replaced the car in the showroom. And frankly the styling wasn't sharper, it was smoother for better aerodynamics. The fact that the Magnum's sales of 50 grand units were 10 to 1 compared to the Charger did accelerate the Charger's exit, but they were both scheduled to leave after 1979 to be replaced by the Mirada.

The 78 Magnum was an alternative to the 78 Charger SE, Dodge had two Personal Luxury Cars to sell for 1978, the Charger SE and the Magnum XE. Cordoba evolved in 78 with much new Sheetmetal and the Magnum was new sharing some parts of the new Sheetmetal with the Cordoba where the Charger of 78 retained it's basic overall design with the 77 Charger but had a lot of upgrades and changes to trim and the interior appointments and colors.
