Shining Armour

In July 1976 Chrysler dealerships throughout Australia received a copy of Bulletin No.93, sent from head office at Tonsley Park in Adelaide.

This outlined the introduction of “a new and exciting limited edition Charger Marketing special” to be known as the ‘White Knight Specials’. These would be identifiable by the code number A50.

Not that anyone needed to check the ID plate. The White Knight Specials came in a choice of two colours: Arctic White and Amarante Red, with contrasting side panels bearing the word Charger in big, bold, block letters plus the White Knight logo. It’s hard to think of another Australian muscle car that was so blatantly identified.
