Hello everybody! I'm a french guy and I own a Charger 73 coming from Oregon. It's a SE, colour with buck seats. This engine is not the original one, it's a 383 from 70.
I hope I'll get good advices from all you, guys, in order to get my Charger nicer!

Welcome. Back in 73 when I (16 then) bought my first Charger new, there were 2 sitting on the lot, red with white top an the yellow with black. I'd originally chose the yello but my Dad talked me out of it. I didn't realize until years later, but it had a 400 and he probably though I'd get in trouble with that. So I got the red/white/318 and the rest as they say is history.

Welcome from Michigan Penns. Very nice charger you have there *thumb up*. Where in France are you from? I'm originally from Idar Oberstein Germany. Not to far from the border of France and Germany. Moved to the states when I was 4.

Thanks for your welcome! I live in the Loire Valley, a great region! Here, in the middle of the castles, the Charger is like an Alien car! The classic cars, here, are mainly french and english cars!

You probably won't run into too many other Chargers at your local shows.
Some great cars there though. That pale yellow E-Type is especially nice.

Tons of questions for you...
That very first photo...the little black coupe closest to you in the photo...what is that? A Citroen next tho that, correct?
What is the location of this latest set of photos? Great location / backdrop for your gathering.
First photo above...a Cadillac ElDorado! Holy cow...the only car there bigger than your Charger!
In that same photo...there is a van in the back, sort of a yellow or tan color. I was thinking VW at first, but I don't believe that's right. What is it?
And to the left of the van, in blue...my first guess was an Alpine...but I don't think that's right either.

This place is a very old monatery: The black car close to my Charger is a Citroen Traction. A common "big" car in France during the 40's and the 50's. The van is a Renault Estafette, a very common van in the 60's and 70's. It's hard to find a nice one, because they were intensively used in the past! Even the french police used it! The blue car is a very famous french sport car, it is the Renault R8 Gordini. Used in rallys and races, it's now a mythic car here. If you like to play a guessing game, few others! A rare and nice Ford Capri 2600!
