October has to be one of my favorite months – exploring corn mazes, carving pumpkins and sneaking in those final fall cruises before your muscle car is tucked away for winter hibernation. Unfortunately, in the midst of all the October excitement, there is an important campaign that is often overlooked: Breast Cancer Awareness month. In modern day, the color pink has been strongly linked as a support symbol for breast cancer and is often adorned on items like ribbons, keychains and keepsakes as a show of support. Now, when you think of a pink car, those Mary Kay Cadillacs or that one-off executive-ordered pink \u2019Vette may <\/em>pop into your head, but when it comes to OEM factory production, no other manufacturer knows how to think pink like Dodge! In honor of breast cancer awareness, let\u2019s take a look at three of the Dodge Brand\u2019s blushing blends! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It all started waaay back in the mid-1950s,\nwhen women driving was finally becoming commonplace in American society. Other\nmanufacturers were adding low-powered products to their lineup to appeal to\nfemale consumers, but Dodge had a better grasp on what women want. In 1955,\nDodge debuted the La Femme, a car catered specifically to women without\ncompromising performance. The La Femme featured convenience factors like power\nsteering, power brakes and a refined automatic transmission, but also came\nequipped with the potent first-generation Chrysler Firepower HEMI\u00ae<\/sup> engine!\nLadies across the nation raised hell in these two-toned Heather Rose hot-rods\nwhile perfectly matching their new street machine with freebie purchase favors\nlike a pink Dodge raincoat, hat, umbrella and purse. With the first-ever pink\nproduction vehicle, Dodge showed their support for women\u2019s liberation and\nshowed that ladies can do all the things a man can do, including driving a\nbadass HEMI engine-powered Dodge! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panther Pink<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Throughout 1969-1971, Dodge\u2019s High Impact color\nseries hosted a star-studded lineup of over-the-top bombshell shades, but few\nwould rival the fun feminine spirit of Panther Pink! Panther Pink (or Moulin\nRouge for Plymouth) is a bold blend of magenta that to this day remains a total\nshow-stopper! The playful pigment was offered to the public for just one year\nunder the code FM3; and while the shade was technically only available in 1970,\nmany cars from 1971 all the way into mid \u201970s were still specially optioned in\nthe oddball color. The factory-built 1971 Challenger in FM3 pictured here is\nthe perfect example of a rare post-1970 magenta Mopar\u00ae<\/sub> vehicle! Being the only true pink\non the market in the muscle car era, Dodge drew in the marginal market of\nladies (and very secure gentlemen) that were tickled pink! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furious Fuchsia<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In 2010, Dodge returned pretty in pink with their limited-edition run of Furious Fuchsia! Furious Fuchsia was only available on R\/T and SRT8\u00ae<\/sup> Dodge Challengers for a one-year limited production series to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the 1970 color Panther Pink. The special edition provided the bold magenta exterior paint color, matching interior stitching and your choice of either black or white stripes. With less than 2,000 Furious Fuchsia cars ever built, the special edition has become highly sought after, but can often be seen sporting its shocking shade at car shows across the country! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the 50th anniversary of the famous pigment Panther Pink fast-approaching and the color becoming widely accepted as a support symbol for breast cancer awareness, I wonder if Dodge will ever release another edition of the shade we crave. What do you think? Would you drive a pink Dodge? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
