I bought a "last call" Charger this year and have been very happy with it.
When I tell people that these are the last Chargers and Challengers that will ever be built, and that the cars are being re-released as EV's, they all roll their eyes and groan.
Thanks to your dad and the others at the plant who have made so many people happy.
Thanks for watching and for sharing this. We really appreciate it!
Americans do not want EVs..
Some do, but getting rid of the cars people want is disappointing. Ask State Police if they want a Charger or an Explorer.
Truth
You are right, we dont
Some do, most will. You don't have to if you don't want to.
And them damn motor carriages are scaring all the horses!
Lifetime Mopar guy here (I'm 62 now; first exposure to one was the family '68 Monaco wagon as a kid!).
I've owned almost exclusively all Chrysler stuff in my life (currently, a '12 Charger R/T from Brampton and
one of the last Rams from the Fenton, MO plant ('04), both 5.7 hemi vehicles).
My toy is a 1968 Plymouth GTX named "Fred"; he's my ressurection project and a glory to behold.
Steph, your dad and his co-workers built our current Charger as well as the previous '06 R/T as well and
I've always bragged to people just how well the cars are constructed, so my heartfelt condolences go
out to you and your family - and THANK YOU Brampton family for doing such a great job!
- Ed on the Ridge
That’s very impressive, Ed. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly appreciate it. -S.
What beautiful memories and how great was your dad! Sadly Chrysler is killing the most epic lineup in their history. Hopefully, it will come back again after EV failures. Sorry for your loss. Feel happy and proud of your dad!
Thank you so much for watching. We truly do appreciate it.
@@Modern.Motoring Hope to watch more videos of this Hellcat!
EV failures?
LOL - You keep thinking that.
@@silverstake88 time will tell… want to bet something? EV is the biggest lie in the automaker industry. There is no such infrastructure to hold that. But you probably drive a Prius or Tesla. Don’t park that battery inside your garage, or you will wake up burning one day… and that advice is free!
@@silverstake88not enough power to charge them if 5% own them. Most don’t want them. They are complete shit in winter. Turns out they are not cheaper then fuel. Lol 😂 it’s a fucking joke
You are the true meaning of the love many of us have for these cars. Old and new. It runs deep. Thank you for bringing us your story. Sorry for the loss of your dad but I know hes looking down on you and smiling every time you mash that gas pedal.
Great video! I became a huge Mopar fan about 5 years ago, I’ve owned 6 chargers and Challengers since then. I currently have a 23 Charger Hellcat. I’m glad people like your dad built these great vehicles.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing that. The people who built those cars are very proud of what they do.
❤ Chrysler last 50 years.... However they are wasting their time because nobody is buying EVs... Not near enuf to matter and most likely never will.... I'm certainly NEVER buying one in a 100 years......
That sounds about right. 6 Dodge cars lasting 5 years. 😅😅😅😅😅
@@51AB Naa, it's because old/rich people can actually afford to cycle through them year after year when they strike a fancy. I have an 09 Challenger SE built in Brampton in March of 09 - 1 month before they changed the SE transmission from a 4-speed auto to a 5-speed auto. Currently leaking oil from the oil pan after I put a new one on it because I guess I didn't put it on correctly. Still runs, just leaks about a 2 quarts a week until the pan is empty.
Sorry for your loss. Your Dad would be really proud of you and good on you for your selection. Good choice of options and color.
FWIW, I worked at a few Chrysler dealerships in a management role for a decade before retiring. In 2014, I fell in love with a Orange Dodge Charger SRT8 that got parked in the show room, just outside of my office. That car came home with me and is sitting in my garage with only 6300 km on it to date. I keep a very tight leash on this car and it seldom, if ever, see's the streets and only at nightime and it has never seen snow or rain. It is possible that your Dad helped assemble this car.
In my years of experience, the quality from the Brampton plant was exceptional.
I will always have a special place in my heart for Chrysler.
Plate C
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts. There’s a very good chance Dad helped with the doors on that car. Enjoy it to the fullest. -S.
So sorry for your loss. Your dad seemed like a great guy who took pride in his work. He probably helped build my 2016 Challenger. Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve got a 2023 on order so thanks to all the fine people who work at the Brampton Plant.
There’s a very good chance he did help build your Challenger! Thanks for watching and commenting, and enjoy your 2023!
@JoelKSLC, Ontario Canada. You may never receive that car that you ordered. Production for 2023 is already over.
Thanks for sharing your testimony Steph. Nostalgia and sadness combined. History. Was born in the 50s and I really appreciate the era of Muscle Cars.
When an era finishes it makes us appreciate it even more if ya get my drift. Let’s embrace the era of EV vehicles, that’s the reality.
I very much love this impromptu type video making and unique subject matter.
Cheers NZ.
@@johnmartin7158maybe we don’t embrace EVs. Maybe we refuse to buy them and refuse to elect those that ram them down our throats. Maybe we push back on the entire woke agenda - instead of complete submission to corruption. I encourage you to have a fresh look at all the underpinnings of the climate change hoax - if you are honest you’ll discover it’s all a lie…cheers.
As an owner of a 2018 Plum Crazy Dodge Charger RT I certainly hope your dad was part of my car being put together, she is my baby and I absolutely love her!! Thanks for sharing your story
Thank you so much for watching! My dad passed in 2017, so he would have been gone by the time your car was built. But the many more dedicated employees at Brampton put just as much care into it, I’m sure. (Forgot Plum Crazy was offered back then!) -S.
Very sorry for your loss. It is less sad we are losing the greatest car Dodge ever built. I personally have been a Dodge owner since the 1970's with many B body and e body cars. With nothing to fill the void, myself like most of my ilk are looking at GM and Ford to fill the bill. I wish Dodge was back instead of being run by Stellantis and smarter decisions where made to keep the customer base coming back tot he well. Alias that is not the case. My current 2022 Dodge Redeye will be my last Mopar and it really hurts knowing this is over.
We feel your pain. Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts. We truly appreciate It.
Welp, didn’t wake up this morning thinking I was going to have a cry today, but here we are.
Although none of them made it on camera, there were a lot of tears shed in the making of this video. Thanks for adding some to the puddle. ❤️ -s.
It was a struggle for me too, but i held out. I have a '17 charger. Its nice to see who hung the doors.
@@Modern.Motoring kinda wish they would let the gas engines live for at least ten more years
@@Make_Canada_Great_Again10yrs. More like 50-100yrs. But they need to release more efficient I.C.engines because now different places are realizing so much less taxes they earned from the taxing of gas is hitting places with a lot of ev owners so hard they are testing out a tax from .20-.35cents a mile for ev owners.
It a big mess, considering they gave out multiple different incentives for buying ev’s…
@@jakejake909 ya i was actually just reading about that last night
One of the absolute best car videos that I’ve ever had the pleasure of viewing. Thank you so much for allowing us the pleasure to share in your memories of your father and all of the history of Dodge and the Brampton factory and its extended family. What they brought us has been the best damn cars that money could buy. It goes way beyond performance and numbers. Sure those things are great, but when you can get in one of those masterpieces, you can just close your eyes, press the button, and the magic begins. These cars just make you dream about being in the perfect place each and every time. Every ride is a special one. Your father and his colleagues brought us something that is very special and goes beyond gas and rubber. It’s about savoring something very, very special. That’s why I purchased my 2022 Challenger Scat Pack Widebody Skaker in Torred. I look forward to taking my wife and kids out and just put the windows down and listen to the exhaust notes. Nothing gives you that feel when that Hemi starts to hum. A beautiful video, very touching, and we’re going to miss these cars as well as the people who spent their lives making sure that anyone who drives and owns a Dodge knows that they have something special.
Thank you for watching and for this very touching comment. We really appreciate that you took the time to share these thoughts. Please do enjoy that car as often as you can! -Steph and Jay
Great video! You should have way more views on this. I’m going to plug this video in my next video. 🙏
That’s extremely good of you. We would seriously appreciate the boost. Thank you so much!
I'm sad for your loss. My condolences. This was an excellent tribute to your father as well as the 2nd muscle car era. I myself have owned 4 Chargers. Starting in 1978 I bought a 1973 Charger 440 magnum. Then on to 2011 with my RT, 2015 with my Scat Pack and now my 2020 Widebody Scat Pack. I'm just so sad we have to say goodbye to these incredible machines. I'm wondering if your dad may have touched my 2020. I hope he did. It's a fantastic car.
Thank you so much for watching. My dad passed in 2017, so we wouldn’t have had a hand in your Widebody, but he likely did with your 2011 and 2015. Love a good Scat Pack. Enjoy it to the fullest! -S.
Fantastic video - Thanks for sharing such a personal experience. As a 2016 hellcat charger owner, I am so thankful to your Dad and to the entire Brampton team for making so many people so happy. It's not only the joy in driving them, but also the comradery that I've found in the "brotherhood of muscle". I've met so many people from entirely different backgrounds that I'd otherwise have no chance of meeting - where everyone is honestly happy and supportive of each other, free of prejudices and stereotypes. This community is truly a model for the entire planet.
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing this! These cars seem to build community wherever they go, from inside the plant to among the people who own them. Very glad that’s been your experience as well. My dad was so proud to build these cars and would have been delighted to hear your story. -S.
An amazing video tribute to these amazing cars and fabulous folks who built them with care and respect.
Steph's dad sounds like a very cool guy..the 'Steady Eddie' type..the ones who keep things rolling. I was
born in '66..my ride home from the hospital after being born..a '65 Plymouth Fury III w/a 383..Palomino 4 dr sedan. Not far removed from these cars..simpler, yes..but still with that same heart..character & coolness.
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts. We appreciate it. You nailed it: Steady Eddie is who Dad was, to a tee. -S.
@@Modern.Motoring Your'e welcome. My dad passed away over a yr ago. We deffo miss him, as well. He was a life long steady Eddie, too..worked for the Bell System/Ameritech..a telecom guy.
I have a 2021 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T. I consider myself blessed to have gotten one of these beautiful car before the end of production! I have owned many Mopars over the years.

-2021 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T with every option but a Sunroof.
That’s an impressive list! Thanks so much for watching!
In 1999 I went to the Warren assembly plant in Michigan. I am a diehard Mopar fanatic and at the time was driving a truck built there. I showed up unannounced and wanted a tour. They explained that tours were by appointment only and for larger groups. I explained that I had driven all the way from Texas to see the plant. She told me to hang on. About 10 minutes later a gentleman showed up and said let's go. I received the red carpet personalized tour. Could not have imagined how cool that place was. Got to see the line in operation. It was the best vacation ever. The people there were so kind and accommodating. Received several souvenirs and tokens. I still have every one including my Warren assembly plant coffee cup and my button up dress shirt that I still wear on occasion with pride.
Amazing that you got the red carpet treatment! Assembly plants are way cooler inside than most people give them credit for. Thanks so much for watching!
@eddiehoward6533, Dodge Hellcat cars were made in Ontario Canada and not in Michigan USA. Several Ram trucks are/were made in Mexico.
What a great tribute and story. As a person who has never driven a Challenger or Charger, this story really shows me the history and the importance of such a vehicle. This video is so beautifully made. And great choice on the spec of the press car, Steph. I do not think I will get my chance with it until it is retired but just seeing it here with all the history has made my day.
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave these kind comments. We’re so glad you enjoyed it.
Do you think the govt. ever thinks about the super volcano at yellowstone.
Technologies transition in every industry...like it or not...but the respect paid to their employees at Brampton assembly is amazing..am proud owner of 2015 challenger..love the car...retired auto worker from oshawa
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts. We hope you found this relatable to your own career!
cars are so much more than metal. they are the epitome of human connection. absolutely beautiful story thank you for taking us along with you for this
This is so true. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. We truly appreciate it!
Not necessarily a Dodge guy (Camaro owner). But, your story about your Dad and the end of this era, sure had my eyes watering up. Thank You, for sharing and I'm glad you got one of the final V8's. I brought my V8 ,for that same reason.
Thank you so much for watching!
@whereisthedollar, Camaro is being discontinued also after 2023.
Yes. Production of the sixth-generation Camaro is planned to end in January 2024. Ordered mine 12/21 and got her 5/22.@@sergeantmasson3669
I've owned nothing but Mopars since I bought a used 68 Charger in 75. I now have a 2012 and a 2014 Hemi Charger, that I'm sure your Dad had a hand in building. It's so disappointing to see the end of line for these great cars, I just can't see myself in an EV. Good luck with that beautiful Charger Steph , and may your Dad RIP.
Hang onto those cars for as long as you can. They won’t build them like this again. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. We really appreciate it.
I had a 2013 Chrysler 300 C and a 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T. Both great cars built in Brampton. Your Dad and his crew did a great job. May he RIP.
Beautiful video and tribute! I've owned 1 Challenger & 1 V6 Charger, 2 Daytonas and now enjoying my first( unfortunately my last) Scatpack Widebody. May your father rest in peace knowing the joy he had a part of making such a beautiful car!!! Love from Houston, Texas!!!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and share your thoughts. We appreciate it!
My condolences for the loss of your father. It’s nice to know that your father may have had his hands on and in the making of my 2008 Dodge Charger 3.5L.
I love my Charger and I will keep it for years to come as long as it runs. I bought it when I was 24 years old, and now 16 years later it still looks and runs l great. Depending on the price of the new EV, I may purchase one, but many factors must be met before I decide for myself.
Thank you so much, and thanks so much for watching. We hope you get to enjoy your Charger for a very long time!
I bought my first Charger R/T Scat Pack in 2018. It was a wonderful, fun car and my son has possession of it now. When I heard 2023 was "Last Call," I knew I needed to have another Scat Pack! I special ordered it and within 3 months I got a notice from the Brampton Plant the car had been completed! Now I have the car and I love it so much, I hope to have it for many, many years!. I sure wish your Dad's touch graced both of my Chargers, as your story is so heartwarming. But I'll never forget you, and him, and all the other line workers who built the car of so many dreams! Thank you for your story and your tale of your Plum Crazy Hellcat!
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts. With your car being passed on to your son, it’s wonderful to hear about your family connection with these cars, too! Enjoy your Last Call!
What a wonderful tribute to you Dad Steph! Thank you for sharing these memories and the swing through the plant!
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts! We really, truly appreciate it.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Especially, when he was 1 year away from retirement. He must have been a great hard working guy to not only work there for so long but to be remembered in such high regard from other employees quite a few years later. It was great that you got such an amazing opportunity to see where he worked and drive a car off the line. That's a dream of any car guy even if family weren't there. But, the family aspect adds so much more to it. I don't know if I would have been smiling ear to ear or crying....or both over such an experience. One thing you failed to mention in your video though that is also really sad is that the future of those employees and even the entire plant are uncertain. Since, they are planning to switch production from hot selling muscle cars to EV's which don't sell well. It's likely that many will get laid off or the entire plant may close. Dodge as a brand might not even make it, more so for Chrysler since they are down to only a minivan. A newly established performance car brand that doesn't build muscle cars is not a good business plan. Especially, since their competition has no plans to stop building at least 1 muscle car. Plus, the fact that It's not possible for EV's to realistically be the future so Dodge will be the only American muscle car brand not building any muscle cars. Basically, giving sales away to any competition. I know as the year comes to an end employee morale is going to drop if it hasn't started already. GM and Ford are already losing money on EV's and are starting to slow production and slow plans on other EV's. Now that I've seen the faces of some of those people, it makes it that much more sad to see this happen. Stellantis taking over FCA has been the worst thing for Dodge. It was very nice of them to do what they did as tribute to your father. However, I'm really troubled by what Stellantis will be doing to these good hard working people. I'm sure most of them have families to support. Unless, they change their plans to build something that's not an EV, I don't think that plant will make it more than 5 more years. Anyways, thank you for posting this video showing us the plant and some of the great people that worked there.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to share such detailed thoughts. We appreciate it!
FrankieD SRT in Germany 🇩🇪. I loved your segment and blessings to you and your family. Your dad was a great man and an integral part of history as we know it! Thank you for your support and input to the MOPAR community!!!
Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts. We really appreciate it!

love my 2011 challenger rt classic standard shift toxic orange paint white stripe rt 2300 miles no rain or snow!! also my 2014 charger rt hemi awd gray love that also! 4500 miles! no rain or snow also! just nice to see where my cars came from! your dad did a excellent job! sorry for your loss.
There’s every chance my dad’s fingerprints are still inside those door panels. Enjoy those awesome cars. Thanks so much for watching! -S.
This is both tragic and awesome! As the owner of a Brampton-built Chrysler, which was the first car I ever purchased when I was 18, I will now drive it with even more pride until the day I die, knowing awesome people like your dad built it with pride.
PS: The smile on your face the first time you saw it just never gets old.
Thank you so much for being a proud caretaker of one of these great cars. And thanks for watching. We appreciate it!
Thanks Steph for sharing your build of your car. I also knew your Dad and he was definitely a great guy. Oh so many familiar faces, so awesome. I retired in 2021 after 33 1/2 yrs. Many good memories thats for sure. Enjoy your ride.
Thanks so much for watching and sharing this. It’s so great to hear from people who knew my dad. Enjoy your retirement! -S.
I am a Mopar guy this is a very sad thing that Dodge chose to go electric I won't get into the politics but I think this is the end of Chrysler and a lot of jobs will be eliminated there 😠
Agreed. Infastructure in the country is not set up for it.
I just watched this & I am unbelievably sad. I don’t have a “lifelong” connection to Dodge; just my own personal dream. I never had the chance to own a Challenger until I finished nursing school at 58 years old. I bought my SXT, then traded up to the 5.7L R/T. While I’m so blessed to have some limited experience as an owner, it crushes me that I’ll never be able to own any of the top tier models, or be able to “build” my car. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your dad’s story. What an honor. ❤
Thank you so much. But never say never: maybe a top-trim will fall into your lap someday. You never know! Thanks for watching! -S.
It’s very cool to see that industries/companies in North America in a lot of cases having an employee their whole career and, even multiple generations working their whole careers at a factory to be immortalized in some way by that company. very cool and, props to your pops, and I offer my condolences to
You and your family.❤
Sorry for your loss. He must have been a remarkable guy. I've been driving since 1964, and I can't begin to count the number of cars I've owned, over the years. My 2011 Charger, which I bought new, is the BEST car I've ever owned, and I've owned them all, GM, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, Honda. My Charger has almost 240,000 miles on it. I'll own it for the rest of my life. Thanks for this wonderful experience with your video. I've often wondered about the plant. The quality of the build on my Charger is awesome.
What a great tribute to her dad and at least the whole era of muscelcars. For me as a german its alway a plesaure and a really special feeling to sit in my Challenger Scat pack.
Great Video!! Awesome Tribute to your Dad and these great cars! I myself am pushing seventy and still own and probably always will a first year Chrysler 300C SRT8 that I waited 10 months for after ordering in February of 2005 at fifty years of age. She is typical Silver, loaded and has just 98600 miles. Now I have a connection to a hero that probably not only worked on but may even have been the first person to sit behind the wheel! Thank you! God Speed Bill Wallcraft!
Thank you so much! That’s a very beautiful connection. We’re glad you took the time to watch and comment. We truly appreciate it!
Greetings to the great assembly crew at Brampton. I just received my green Charger GT on the 7th of September 2023. Thank you for this fine Automobile and best wishes for the future.
Thanks for watching and leaving your comment. Enjoy that car!
I’m sorry for the loss of your dad. I’m sure that there were a ton of emotions going through you during this event of choosing the specs for the car and going to the plant where your dad worked for so many years. It was nice seeing where my car ( a Challenger ) was built and it’s heartbreaking for me to know that they are stopping the production of these cars that we love. I’m glad that you got to experience the build and to drive it. All the best to you and your family, from America.
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and to share your thoughts. We truly appreciate it!
I'm sorry for your loss... What a wonderful video! I have a 22 Charger Scat Pack Widebody with the Hemi Orange Package I've had for a little over a year. I'll think of you and your family and all of the others now each time I drive it. They are amazing vehicles... so much that I had to order a Challenger this year!! I'm currently still waiting for it to be built. Your story makes them both even more special. Since I won't be driving them everyday or in the rain and snow I plan to have them for many years. It's nice of you to share your story with others. Love & Prayers. Dave
Dave, you’re exactly the type of owner I’ve always hoped these cars would end up with. Thanks so much for watching and for sharing your thoughts. Jay and I truly appreciate it. -S.
@@Modern.Motoring Thank you. I'm looking forward to getting the Challenger. They'll have plenty of company in the garage. Everyone thinks I'm crazy but that's ok. I always say I have MVS (multi vehicle syndrome). Lol. Hopefully you can keep your Ford and save the Charger for nice weather!
Thank you Brampton workforce for decades of awesome cars. Wherever life takes you next keep ‘em coming.
Cheers bud thanks 👍
@williamcampenni2566, Dodge Hellcat cars are made in Ontario Canada, NOT in the USA and parent Corporation is Stellantis. No more Hellcats after 2023 in anything. Even the Hemi V8 engine will be gone.
@@sergeantmasson3669 unfortunately
Sorry for your loss. Your Dad probably built my 09 Charger R/T 15 Scat Pak Challanger and my latest 09 Challanger R/T. He is what made Dodge the success it is. Best of Luck.❤
Thank you so much! Enjoy those cars!
Let's be honest and not split hairs here people. In my personal opinion. I believe the number one reason why this car brand is fading Into history is because they could no longer keep the owners safe from dangerous thieves. I don't believe it was the economy or the epa. That's just my opinion. But what ever the reason. That day has arrived. If you think about it there is no way to safely own a Dodge muscle car Challenger or charger anymore. I own for seven years a 2009 cherry red RT 6-speed manual Hemi Challenger. It had all of the badges and decals on it. I bought it used in 2013 with only 37,000 miles on it. It was a one-owner and still had the new car smell in it. It was a daily driver. Whenever I return back to my car from anywhere in town it was always there waiting for me. The thieves took notice of these cars around 2018. And the value of ownership has been going downhill ever since. I blame movies like The Fast and the Furious and video games like Grand Theft Auto for one of the major causes of this trend. It doesn't matter what kind of security measure you take. Whether it be electronic anti-theft devices parking in your garage or sitting at a traffic light. The thieves will follow your four miles until they know where you live. And then all bets are off when they break into your house or hold you at gun point while sitting at a traffic light. Dodge has become afraid of being sued by the customers for not protecting their property. So in the beginning like I said. Let's not split hairs here. People. It all boils down to lawsuits and insurance claims. I will always miss my "Red Rachel" as much as the next fan. Yes. The day I sold her I went home close the door in my office and cried for hours.😥😣😞 Not a day goes by that the memories of that lost Dream passes me by. Literally. I'm sure those of you who had to sell your beloved Dream Car would fully understand this. And I always will miss the peacefulness and solitude of just getting in my Challenger and going nowhere on a beautiful sunny Friday Saturday or Sunday afternoon drive. But it's just not worth losing your life over a car.
So I just want to say thank you to the Dodge Brothers for making my dream come true and may you rest in peace and thanks for the memories. It was a hell of a ride!
Thank You Dodge🇺🇸😌❤
May you RIP. Long may you Run.

That is a beautiful car. Thank you for this video. I might just paint mine purple because I saw this. Mine is a 2007 dodge charger and was built at "Brampton Assembly, BRAMPTON, ONTARIO, CANADA". It is just a 3.5L v6, I am the second owner and I plan to keep this car as long as I can in the best condition possible. Thank you.
Edit: its already over 250,000 miles...
Not "just" a V6 - a good Pentastar can be the right car for a lot of people. If you do get it painted, please be sure to come back to share photos! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. We really appreciate it.
Great video. As a 50+ year MoPar fan it hurts to see the end of the road for these legendary road burners. Simply loved the contrast of this video of goodbyes to a loved one and a performance heritage.
Thank you so much for this, John, and for watching. This is very meaningful feedback and we truly appreciate it.
First let me say so sorry for you loss. Secondly I've had 2 challengers one purple one sublime and also a red Daytona Charger. Also now have my mom's 2011 Chrysler 300 after she passed earlier this year so I can relate to your loss. With that being said I had ordered a 2023 Jailbreak Charger redeye back in November of 22. it just sat in the order bank until Stellantis canceled it.. not happy .. So then I replaced that order with a regular Charger hellcat widebody in plum crazy. And now it still sits unscheduled. please build my car!! now, with my fear of not having a last hemi, I came across a 2023 Chrysler 300 C with the 392 one of 2000. so I pulled the trigger and bought that. Love It! so now in my garage is the 2011 300 (My mom's last car) and 2023 300C side by side. But I still want the hellcat. I wish I could please get in touch with Stellantis and have them please build my hellcat. And I do work for a Stellantis dealer in Pennsylvania and still am not confident I will get it. But I hope everyday when I log in that it goes into D status and gets built. Fingers crossed. this was Great story and hope I can add my hellcat to my story!
We have our fingers crossed for you. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. We appreciate it!
Yep, you speced that car out beautifully, love every bit of it. Thank you for sharing this moment, got this guy here to shed a little tear at one point. May your father RIP.
Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly appreciate it!
I got all emotional seeing how special this was for you. Talking with your dads long time workmate just overwhelmed me when he said he'd like to give him a big hug.
I grew up on a farm at the corner of Williams Parkway and Torbram road. There is a tree and a patch of grass where our old farm house used to be.
That house is now in Black Creek Pioneer Village.
Thanks for the lovely story and enjoy driving with your dad!
Wow - that’s some amazing history you have with the area, too! Thanks so much for watching. We truly appreciate it!
Amazing video and tribute not only to your father, his colleagues but also to some amazing cars of the decades. Well done Steph (and Jay)!
I was hoping since you spec out the car that you bought it to keep in your family. Hope the owner of car treasures it like the you spec the car.
The "and Jay" deserves to be outside the brackets. He never appears on camera this time, but he did far more work on this than I did.
Wish I could buy the car, but at six digits it’s well outside my snack bracket 😂
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. We both truly appreciate it. -S.
Your Dad did a great job, because he was a good member of a big family that brought to us the pleasure and fun while driving such beautiful cars from dodge.
Hello Steph! Congratulations! Greetings from the Netherlands, I purchased a 2010 Plum Crazy Hemi Challenger a couple of years ago with less than 25K miles on it, imported it from Columbus Ohio, where is was waiting for me at the Prius dealership 🙂 It is an honor to see your story and hear the story about your dad and all those workers, it makes it so much more personal, I will enjoy the car even more now, I can only say enjoy your beautiful Charger!! And remember; As long as their names are mentioned, they are not forgotten!
Such a great story in memory of your Dad. I feel proud that I got my Last Call Sublime Challenger in honor of Mopar for building the best cars in the world, imo.
Canadian Modern Muscle. Love them
Thanks for watching and commenting. We appreciate it!
Not only is it an end of an era, it as an end to dodge. They won't be able to survive going to EV like a lot of other companies.
This is a really awesome tribute to your dad! I relate after losing my dad several years back. I have a 14 RT AWD MAX and I love my Charger. Mine has a red interior so I related to this more than one way. Chances are your dad worked on my doors. I know I will never detail them again without thinking of you, your dad, and this video.
Thank you so much. That really means a great deal. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Jay and I truly appreciate it. -S.
It can be hard when someone passes away in your own life i know ehen my grandma passed away i felt the same way i did not go to work for a week but now i sm okay i hope you feel comfort to return back to work when yiy feel like going back ti work
Thank you. Dad passed away seven years ago, so the initial shock has faded. But as the saying goes, you never get over such a loss, you only learn to live with it. I’m so grateful to be able to honour his memory in this way. We’re very sorry for your loss as well. Thanks for watching. We truly appreciate it. -S.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I really enjoyed seeing your family ties to the Challenger and Charger. I appreciate you opening up and sharing you and your dads story, even though it had to be emotional. Your dad sounded like a great guy, and very likely had a hand in building my Challenger that I bought new in 09. My car makes me happy in ways it's hard to describe every day since 2009 and your dad had a part in that happiness, so cheers to you Bill! 🍻
This is such a meaningful comment. Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. We truly appreciate it.
Love this video!
I ordered and purchased a B5 blue widebody Challenger this year. I appreciate all of the people that went into building my car. It is beautiful and has had no issues. Thanks for all hard work and being apart of this era of motoring.
We’re so glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. Enjoy that Challenger!
I wish the Brampton plant never stop making cars. These are the most committed people to building great cars.
Brampton is staying open to transition to EV production. But this is undoubtedly the end of an era.
At the time of the Brampton AMC assembly plant's construction in 1978 it was the largest in the world
Thank you and your father for being a hard factory worker at Brampton, this is the true meaning of living the American dream and I totally agree with you most of those factory workers are the face of the automotive industry as they’re always working feverishly to get cars rolled of the assembly line. I’ve worked in the automotive industry for about ten years nine years at BMW dealership, one year at Cadillac. I wish I could afford at least a Hellcat but the reality is I can’t, since I work at Cadillac I’m driving a CT5-V and love it. I have a friend who works at CDJR, him and I use to work at BMW and we were just talking about how American customers are just so happy and filled with joy whenever they’re getting a sports car and with BMW sports car (M3, M4, M5, M6) it seemed like it was very transactional and no excitement as most of these affluent and rich customers have leased or owned so many of these European cars that it doesn’t bring them that joy of elation on their faces when they take delivery as compared to American Sports car. I loved your video it was very heart warming, almost teared up a bit, I loved how it was from start to finish when you ordered the car and then being at the assembly line, I was eyeing that red Chrysler 300 S, yeah some of those paint jobs are wild exotic and sexy and that’s what I appreciate from American brand being ostentatious. I feel like those factory workers have probably the best time out after work with each other having a beer and eating out after work, you can definitely see the friendliness and unity, that’s cool!. I’m disappointed that Stellantis wants to move in a different direction for the abandonment of the muscle cars, and going toward EV, I wonder if at some point in the future that the Dodge brand should bring back these vehicles as this was their bread and butter revenue producing inexpensive four door performance sedan vehicle. I think that’s absolutely awesome to purchase the vehicle and I’m sure your dad would be so proud of you making that decision!!
Such beautiful moments on this vid. Especially when you saw your dad on the wall and when you car came down the line. Beautiful smile full of happiness.
I managed to order a '22 WB Challenger.
Thanks to everyone at Brampton for building my "forever" car.
You guys done good. 😊
Thanks for sharing that, and for watching. We appreciate it!
@Modern.Motoring ❤️
I was born in Detroit. My father worked on a Dodge truck line...briefly. lol
My Grandfather owned a Ford store outside Detroit in the 70's.
I lost my Father two years ago.
Watching your story was a delight. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you so much. Good dads are really special. 💕
Hey Dodge!!! Why stop making them? Electric cars are crap! There's nothing like a V8 ROAR!!! KEEP MAKING THE CHARGER AND CHALLENGER!!! YOU WERE ON TO SOMETHING, WHEN YOU BROUGHT THEM BACK THESE VERY SPECIAL MUSCLE CARS!!!
Our Plum Crazy 2019 Charger SXT AWD might not be the muscle car of the group, but it has served us well since we bought it in transit in October of 2019.
It still gets noticed everywhere we go and has taken multi-state road trips, winter snow storms and a week’s worth of luggage 🧳 with ease.
So far, it’s only asked for oil and air filter changes and a new set of Nokian tires 🛞.
Well done, Brampton Assembly!
Hi, So sorry to hear about Bill's passing , I left in 2009, I worked with your dad on the door line , He was a A or B specialist . I can't remember which. He was a great guy and a great sense of humour .
Thanks for getting in touch! Dad loved few things more than he loved to laugh. I’m sure he would have been delighted to learn this is what you remember about him. Thanks so much for watching. We truly appreciate it. -S.
Awesome story. I have a 2016 Scat Pack Shaker Challenger and having seen this video it really made me more appreciative of the work that the men and women do to build these amazing vehicles. Prayers to you and your family. It was great seeing a good man have a important role in building my car. Thanks again for the video, you take care.
Thank you so much for watching and for sharing these comments. We truly appreciate it!
I enjoy my 2015 Challenger SRT392 everyday. Your Dad is resting in gods hands and smiling that you got a Charger.
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts. We appreciate it!
So sorry for the loss of a n incredible man! He made Canada proud! Canada like here in the USA is not Great like it was in the 60s-2010ish. Your dad seemed like the guy we all would love to have as a friend and a neighbor! GOD BLESS. I wish They Gifted you that Charger in memory of your Dad.
Thanks so much for watching. We really appreciate it!
This was the coolest video I’ve seen in a long while. It had to have been incredible to see the car you spec’d out come off the assembly line. What a special occasion. I have a 2016 Charger R/T and still love it.
I hate seeing these cars go out of production. These were the best vehicles Dodge/Chrysler ever made.
I wish Brampton can revive those classic Dodge models for the next generation of our time, like the Monaco, Intrepid, Nitro, Aspen, Omni, the Viper, the Avenger, Neon and then continue the Charger and the Challenger to welcome back to the brotherhood of muscle for our roots of the iconic Dodge models ever in our childhood history.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. We appreciate it.
The straight pipes did a review on this car and actually talked about how awesome the vehicle spec was! Great to see they paid respect to your family.
We know Yuri and Jakub quite well as colleagues, but they had no idea about the back story of the car when they drove it. Steph was pretty worried they were going to trash the colour scheme before they knew what was going on 😂😂😂
Condolences to you and your family - 64 was very very young. Godspeed to you and yours!
Thank you so much, and thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. We truly appreciate it.
Glad to see a lady driving such a unique muscle car and taking pride in it. My mom was a mechanic and enjoyed cars, not enough women out there representing.
These cars have been such a huge part of my life that they directly influenced my career choice! I’m so happy that we could put together this tribute. Thanks for watching! -S.
Farewell to Stellantis being profitable. If they go all EV, they will follow De Soto and the Studebaker.
If they really do stop the 2024 assembly for the hellcat charger, I'll have to sneak my way in early next year to get one of these without the dealer markup...Also I feel sorry for your dad passing and you deserve the last masterpiece your dad used to built with his hand.
You might want to go a little earlier. We’re told MY2023 is the last call and shutdown is happening before the end of the calendar year. Thank you so much for watching. We appreciate it.
I have a 2008 Challenger srt8, 943/6500. Neat to think that your dad helped build it!
Wow what a spectacular video.
My dad and uncle own one of the biggest dodge ( MOPAR) dealership in Florida
Sometime in the 2000s my dad went to Detroit Chelsea proven grounds and drove all of the Dodge vehicles ranging from the v6 to the 5.7 the 6.4 and the viper, and then again the hellcat.
I just got my octane red Widebody 392 charger and it’s such a beautiful car.
Sad these are stopping production but I feel and so many others do to that these will be back.
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. We truly appreciate it!
Words can't describe my feelings towards the end of the Mighty Charger
We’re with you. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it.
Great story about you, and your Dad, an honorable hard working man who was obviously valuable at the plant. However, it will never be "Last Call" for me and my family. I love Muscle Cars, and refuse to drive anything else. This is a great story!!!!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly appreciate it!
They’ll be back. Mark my words. Your dad helped make something amazing, it’s not going to fade away like nothing.
Time will tell. Thanks so much for watching!
This was a very cool video and experience. I'm sorry to hear about your Dad passing away, but I believe in spirit he was smiling watching you sit in your car at the very plant that he worked for years assembly cars, particularly Muscle cars.
Thank you so much. I know my dad would have been delighted with this entire experience. Thank you for watching, we truly appreciate it! -S.
As a fellow BAP employee a great tribute to your Dad.
Thanks so much, and thanks for watching. Where in the plant do you work?
Hello , I worked in pdi in the metal & lowbake department before retiring. My daughter worked on the door line with your Dad as a student. I sent your video to my daughters. Found out this morning my one daughter had part in scheduling your car.
@mikekeeler7060 Thanks amazing - what a small world! Please pass on my thanks to your daughter. She has a role in making his entire video happen, and we’re so grateful! -S.
I’m crying 😢
EV is the biggest mistake as humans we can ever make.
Thank you for watching. We appreciate it!
Sad time forsure but feels good knowing your dad has put his love into building my 6 cars over the years and many more,
Thank you so much. My dad was so proud to build these cars. -S.
Hi
I am so sorry about your dad! I lost mine the same year and month princess di was killed. I’ve been fortunate enough to of owned 3 64 challengers starting in 2019,2020,& now have my last I think my beautiful 2021! I only say this is because I am suffering with r/a arithritis and I am losing the strength in my hands to be able to enjoy my car! What a great vehicle!☺️♥️
Thank you so much for getting in touch, Pamela! Very sorry to hear about your dad and your arthritis but glad you’re still enjoying these great cars. Thanks for watching! -S.
😢 bitter sweet story ❤ my condolences for you 😢 but you have to appreciate all of the people that had great things to say about your DAD😊
I am a UAW local 685 retired Chrysler employee 5th generation. These vehicles will not be going away anytime soon. Transmission schedule builds are well established for many more years into the future. EVs are not moving. The platform is in and continues to be in extreme high demand for the Challenger, Charger, and the 300. People can buy into the perpetual persuading that the big three wishes to pass to the consumers but unless the customer desires the product then they will not buy the product. Sales will continue and gasoline powered vehicles are still king and the government push EVs all they want but if the customer doesn't want it then they will sit unsold while the gasoline continues to make the company's money. It's all about the money. Hope you enjoy your 8 speed Kokomo transmission.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. We appreciate it.
Look at toyota, they barely even invested in evs because they're not stupid
Nice testimony honoring your Dad. I feel the same way when I pass by my childhood home and my Dad's former work place.
Thanks for sharing that, and thanks for watching. We appreciate it.
From Brampton one of the 1st wave of 2015 Hellcats! I’m sure your dad worked on this, thank you. I’m sure your dad is ver proud of you and his work
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment. Dad’s fingerprints could very well still be inside your car’s door panels. Enjoy it! -S.
The Color plum crazy purple have been around since 1970 It`s one of my favorite mopar colors. My grandfather and my father both worked at the Windsor Assembly plant building the Minivans and then my grandfather got a job at the Big Van plant on Pillette Road until he retired.
There are so many connections to automotive manufacturing in Canada and elsewhere. Thanks so much for watching and commenting. We appreciate it!
A fantastic video! How lucky we are to be growing up. Still in the muscle car era all the way to the end. As sad as it is, I always remember where it all started in the '60s and in the '70s on the old logging roads where they used to drag race and now into the newer era of muscle, particularly where I got to enjoy my doge charger pack until I had to sell because of inflation. But was lucky enough to experience it at the time
Thanks for being part of the journey with us. We truly appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing your Dad's Story/History!
Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. We appreciate it!
He along with these beautiful cars will be missed.
Thank you!
@@Modern.Motoring your welcome enjoy that car.
Love your video! My brother, and many of my clients and friends worked/work at this plant. I'm sure many of them knew your Dad. It is awesome to watch the process of you picking out the features of your car, and then picking it up as a finished vehicle.
So sorry about your Dad...My thoughts are with him...
🙏
Thank you so much! Everyone who lives in or near Brampton has a connection with this plant somehow. Thank you for watching and taking the time to share your thoughts. We truly appreciate it!
Such a great story! My first time watching the channel. I have a billet SRT 392 manual Challenger exactly like the one at 2:36. It’s a weekend toy and so it’s a 2016 with 20k miles. I love it and this video makes me appreciate it more.
That’s wonderful to hear. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts. We truly appreciate it. Enjoy your Challenger to the fullest!
Getting rid of these cars for EVs (which nobody wants) is a death sentence for the brand. Such a stupid decision.
I have a black 2023 300C Limited Edition, and it is an amazing car! Great story thank you for sharing!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. We appreciate it!
I worked at the Faurecia Emmision Controls in Columbus, Indiana. I use to make the exhaust for the Chargers, Challengers, and the 300s. I worked there from Oct 2010 until Aug 2012. I own and drive a 12 black Challenger SXT. When I got it. I had them to put the car on a lift. And the exhaust system from the manifolds to the mufflers. Had my green paint mark on them. I won’t sell this car.
