 car was designed, before going into Dodge Exterior. He had two Vettes, first a '58 dual quad 4 speed followed by a 1964 327/365 H.P., 4 speed with a 4.11 gear.
Frank Ruff, Dodge B-body Design Supervisor, age 33, was also a self-taught, intuitive designer. He worked at Ford Styling, then was hired by Bill Brownlie into the Dodge Exterior Studio and was later promoted to Supervisor. His wheels were a '63 Vette Roadster. It was he who had the second stroke of genius in the program: with his design experience and Sias' vision, plus the talents of two ace clay sculptors, Jim Romeo and Don Kloka, the elements of the 20" concept model were put directly on to the full size clay buck. It already had the established package requirements in place, ie., wheel base, track, Coronet windshield, cowl, etc. In one fell swoop, voila!, the '68 Charger shape was born.
But, along the way, Bill Brownlie started to have second thoughts. While it was exciting enough, there wasn't any design evolution whatsoever from its predecessor, the '67 Charger. Meanwhile, the timing people were getting nervous because the '68 Coronet development, mundane by comparison, was falling behind schedule and missing studio release dates.
As Brownlie was leaving on a business trip to Europe he gave strict instructions to stop work on the Charger (which didn't even have a schedule yet) and concentrate on the Coronet finalization; it was the prudent thing to do. He came back two weeks later, walked into the studio, saw that the Charger model had progressed; and by the tone of his voice, both Sias and Ruff knew without question someone was going to be in deep trouble. At that moment the studio door opened and Elwood Engel walked in, put his arm around Brownlie and said, "Now, that's what a car should look like" (trite, but fitting, "timing is everything"). Elwood left and, predictably, returned with the entire Plymouth studio, which was always his way of spurring competition.
All of the designers supported the design development of the car until it was released from the studio complete with the grille, lamps and ornamentation. The car was a natural to not have anything breaking up the surface flow of the pillars into the lower body, but they swallowed hard and put a vinyl roof on, knowing it was huge profit item. Louvers were added to the front door surface to give clearance to the lower hinge, an interference condition missed early-on.
Yazejian's tail lamps departed from the evolution of the horizontal theme set by the preceding '66 and '67 Chargers by going to dual round, set in a rectangular field. The unobtrusive back up lamps were virtually unseen, until lit.
The studio proposed and mocked up functional dual gas fillers on both sides of the car like some European cars. They really looked great perched on top of each quarter panel. The designers lost that one to the accountants, and nearly lost the left-only flip-up cap for the ever-popular twist-on cap with the bar handle on the side of the quarter panel.
Dodge Product Planning proposed canceling the concealed headlamps to save money. The designers strongly opposed the proposal and Bob McCurry, V.P., Dodge Division General Manager (a.k.a. "Captain Crunch", a nickname aptly given for his performance as a Michigan State University football center) came into the studio to see the headlights mocked up both ways with a huge mirror on the centerline of the front end. He said two words, "Keep 'em," and left.
So, what happened to these guys? They never again worked together.
Sadly, Richard Sias didn't receive praise or recognition for his role in this program from Bill Brownlie. Bill expected more from Sias, saying a one-design designer is not enough. Later, Bob McCurry gave Brownlie a beautiful gold wrist watch to give to an outstanding designer. He chose to let the designers compete for it on a show car project. The watch was presented to Jim Ebejer, designer of the Charger III, which took a flying leap into oblivion after the first year it was shown. Even Jim was embarrassed, knowing the watch should have been given to Sias.
Richard Sias resigned. He went to Spokane, Washington, then on to Seattle and worked for Walter Dorwin Teague, an industrial design house with the Boeing Aircraft account. There he owned three '68 Chargers, all at one time, and made one a convertible because he wanted to see how his baby would look as a ragtop. When he retired he had to abandon the project 98% done and moved to Montana, satisfying his first love, hunting and fishing.
Harvey Winn left a short time later to an industrial design firm, then went to Ford's Special Project Studio. He was, at the time this was written, working in the advertising industry in Detroit.
Bill Brownlie retired from Chrysler in 1980 as an Executive Designer, then went on to be a V.P. at Creative Industries. Bill passed away in 1996 at the age of 70.
Diran Yazejian remained in the Dodge Exterior Studio, and was a major contributor to the '69 changes to the Charger and to the new 1971 Charger. He advanced to Carline manager of A and E Body Dodge, then on to the '72 Charger facelift program, and continued with various assignments until retirement in 1994. He still lives in suburban Detroit and enjoys restoring and maintaining a modest collection of antique and classic cars.
Chuck Mitchell, who rose to the level of Chief Designer, also stayed on until his retirement. If anyone cares to look for the root of Chrysler's breakthrough mini-van, it will be found in a FWD model done under Charlie Mitchell using the then-developing K-car platform. He lives in the Detroit area and continues his interest in the fine arts as an accomplished sculptor.
Frank Ruff was also promoted to the Carline manager level in Dodge/B Body Exterior Studio. He then continued his career at various posts and is currently enjoying his retirement in the Detroit suburbs.
So, there you have it, what took place in a locked studio to produce the '68 Charger, a true icon of the '60's. There was electricity between its designers, car guys to the core, marred by hurt feelings afterwards but they created what today is indeed a rolling legend. Hollywood couldn't have written a better script.
It's so hard to play with randoms. I consistenly get into Top 10, but only won Warzone FINALLY when I went solo. I did eventually win 2x with good randoms, but even then it was tough. One game I had to revive multiple people or buy them back, while in the 2nd one a guy just immediately left after gulag. WHICH MADE NO SENSE BECAUSE I was so close to a) having enough money to revive him AND b) had 1 minute left on Most Wanted and survived. He would've came back anyways.. 

Half the games I play, people leave early or they don't play with the team.Drama in Sister Wives Land: What about Cody and his wives now?
If in 2010 the first episode of sister wives Shown, the viewer is immediately glued to the tube. The series closely follows polygamist patriarch Kody Brown and his four wives.

And according to Cody, the fact that the two are still together on paper has something to do with his faith. “In a polygamous marriage, you can’t just divorce as a man. There’s a double standard we have to deal with in our family. A woman can leave, but I can’t.” So there is no real relationship anymore.
Janelle is Cody’s second wife and unlike Mary, she does not come from a polygamous family. So her family initially has to get used to the fact that Janelle will become Cody’s second wife. Janelle and Cody tied the knot “spiritually” in 1993 and they have no less than six children together: sons Logan, Hunter, Garrison, and Gabrielle, and daughters Madison and Savannah. It seems that there is no real love relationship between the two anymore. For example, Cody has said before that their band is mainly “spiritual” and they mainly click with each other intellectually.
Christine also comes from a polygamous family. At first, she is a good friend of Merry’s, and through her, she gets to know Cody. In 1994 she joined the family. Together, she and Cody have six children: daughters
