50 Cent Makes Pitch to Get 2006 Charger

DaimlerChrysler AG is getting another boost from the hip-hop world, this time in the person of 50 Cent.

The top-selling rapper says he is impatient to get his hands on the 2006 Dodge Charger, a four-door update of the classic muscle car that is debuting at the North American International Auto Show now under way in Detroit. It goes on sale in the spring.

"I need to know what I gotta do to get that Dodge Charger first. I need that," 50 Cent told Myles Kovacs, publisher of auto customizing publication Dub Magazine, in a telephone message last week made available to The Detroit News.

Chrysler is rushing to get 50 Cent what he wants, as it did last summer when rapper Snoop Dogg asked Chrysler division chief executive Dieter Zetsche for a Chrysler 300 sedan. The Snoop Dogg connection brought the automaker welcome cachet in the youth market.

The company allowed Snoop Dogg to use several of the sedans for a music video from his new CD.

Chrysler has been savvy about how it has approached the hip-hop community, letting the artists find it rather than chasing after endorsements, Kovacs said.

"That's worth more money than any advertising you could do in the marketplace," he said.

A Weekly Trip Down Memory Lane

Classic cars line the parking lot at the 5 & Diner in Central Park on Saturday for the weekly Cruise Night. Visitors could get a close look at a variety of cars.

Owners and visitors alike enjoy the individuality of the classic cars on display on Saturdays, such as this chrome Pontiac hood ornament and to order reprints.

AMID THE RUMBLE of big American engines and the sounds of 1950s rock 'n' roll, adults and children peered through windshields and under hoods with a bit of wonder at the weekly Cruise Night at the 5 & Diner in Central Park.

The Accelerators Car Club sponsors the show every Saturday from April through October. Each car is immediately recognizable, from the chrome on the grill of a 1955 Chevrolet pickup or the fins and taillights on a 1957 Ford Fairlane 500, to the classic Pontiac hood ornament of a windswept Indian.

They stood in stark contrast to the modern cars driving by on Cowan Boulevard. "I can't tell the difference between cars today," says Ford Fairlane owner Mike Kremposky of Springfield.

"They're like time capsules," said Teresa Padgett of the Accelerators Car Club as she and fellow club member Rachel Myers walked the line of steel and chrome machines. "A lot of people spend a lot of time and are proud of them," said Myers. "It's a family."

"We're like ambassadors for this hobby," said Chuck Shotwell of Stafford, sitting with his wife, Linda, behind their 1934 Nash Sedan and 1933 Ford Coupe. "We can share them with younger people who've never seen cars like this," Linda said while visitors peeked through the window of the bright red Ford.

With a laugh Shotwell added, "It's a team effort--I keep them running and she keeps them looking pretty." Many of the car owners echoed the sentiment that the classic cars reminded them of their younger days, days that were simpler and less complicated. "This is what I wanted in high school," said Kremposky. "Back then I didn't have the money, and now it's getting expensive, so I got in at the right time."

As the evening wore on, a parade of cars pulled into the retro diner's parking lot, reminiscent of the movie "American Graffiti." Muscle cars, hot rods, dragsters and even modern tricked-out imports pulled into the lot, their owners popping the hoods and setting up lawn chairs to relax and talk with friends and curious visitors.

"Americans and cars go hand in hand, like baseball and hot dogs," said Padgett.
