Spanning seven non-consecutive generations from 1949 to 1976, the Coronet was one of Dodge’s most successful nameplates. As the first post-war model, its full-size status carried the dignified rank of the division’s highest trim line. All that changed in 1955, when it got demoted to the bottom of the Dodge food chain as a low-level car. The name was dropped in 1960 and returned five years later when it entered the muscle car war.

As a Toyota owner, you are probably aware of the importance of proactive maintenance in keeping your vehicle in top condition. Among the crucial components to monitor, the oxygen sensor stands out as a key element. An oxygen sensor, also called the O2 sensor , measures the oxygen ratio in the exhaust gases to ensure optimal engine performance. Located in the exhaust system, it determines if the air-fuel mix is too rich (fuel-heavy) or too lean (air-heavy).

History is filled with instances when custom bike styles were turned into production hits.
