1965 Dodge Dart Charger

I think it's well known that Chrysler did not put a front license plate bracket on cars in U.S. states that didn't use a front plate, but whether or not it was shipped loose in the trunk on cars that did use one, I can't remember. I'm inclined to think you're right, that it would be shipped loose. There might have been a dealer letter than indicates if that was being done, but if there was, I don't have it.

I think that I've seen it in one of the Mopar Magazines, not sure which one of them. In the trunk was the hub caps, antenna post etc. It was easier for Chrysler to let the dealer do the work.

Re the DartCharger I'm not sure. The DartChargers were a Orange County/Los Angeles dealer package to compete with the Mustangs and the Barracudas. So where the Cragar mags, DartCharger badges were added I'm not sure. It might have been a dealer work too but I have no prof for it!
