The new Destroyer album by Canadian rock group Black Mountain apparently "takes its name from discontinued single-run 1985 Dodge Destroyer". So what is a Dodge Destroyer?? We don't seem to have any on The Mighty Database, and my googling attempts only seem to throw up a matt grey colour version of current Dodge Challenger.

Never heard of any Dodge Destroyer before

Maybe it is a custom vehicle and they named it Destroyer.

And then there’s also the official party line that Black Mountain’s Destroyer was named after a Dodge muscle car that was discontinued in 1985. After being stated as fact in the band’s bio, it’s been brought up in practically every article written about the record.

That no such car, according to Google, seems to have ever existed makes one wonder about the entire elaborate—and faithfully repeated—back story that’s been spun for Destroyer. For all anyone knows, McBean road-tested the songs in the back seat of an Uber.
