Such a cool muscle car, but it just doesn't look right in white.  Great pics though!

Agree George.  There were so many very cool color choices for this car.

I guess that is why so many different colors are available, ‘cause I think it looks fantastic in white!

The WHITE thing is my problem.  I don't think any car looks good White.  Maybe it's because in Minnesota we have 8 months of snow.  Smile

LOL! I thought we had a lot of snow in Michigan.

I like most cars in white, there are few that shouldn't be that color. Funny thing, I've had about 45 to 50 cars since I started driving 46yrs ago and only two of them have been white.

I've owned 21 cars since I started driving in 1968.  Only ONE has been white.  It was my '59 Chevrolet Impala 2-door hardtop.  I loved the car, not the color.  Smile

I live in the south where the summers are long and very hot and white cars are cooler. In the past I have owned a 1958 Impala in white and a GMC conversion van. Currently my white vehicles are a Nissan Murano and a 1955 Imperial.

I like white cars and have owned many, including my current Rogue.  Generally though IMHO white cars seem to need contrasting trim/striping to make them really stand out.  The white Challenger shown on this thread would look great with such trim.  Mopar offered some excellent trim choices for their muscle car line in the late 60s thru early 70s.

@jcarnutz (I too have very few white models)  I think the white on this application actually does it justice in a most positive way. I give todays presentation a thumbs-up!
