Ever wonder why the Shaker Hood Bubble on the 1970 'Cuda was only available in Rally Red?

Originally there were supposed to be all the colors that Plymouth was offering on the Sport Mirrors and Elastomeric Bumpers. Unfortunately due to some issue with the bubble's physical properties, the paint didn't stick to the bubble. Shortly after the sale, it starting peeling off.

Plymouth saw what was coming - a major headache as far as time and money to repair the paint issue. They wanted to cancel the painted Shaker Hood Bubbles altogether. Unfortunately for Plymouth, inhouse counsel said; "you showed the painted bubble (in Rally Red) in your advertising. You can cancel all other colors . . . except the Rally Red."

KITT's existence is directly related to the General Lee. The Dukes of Hazzard went on air in the fall of 1979, and CBS soon started to make a ton of money selling their vast variety of General Lee merchandise. It didn't take long for NBC to want a huge piece of that pie too, so by 1981 they came up with the character of Michael Knight, a.k.a. Knight Rider.

Oh BTW - the designer and builder of KITT; Michael Scheffe was a former Mattel Toy designer who later designed and built the BACK TO THE FUTURE DeLorean.

Did you know . . .

The Chevelle was intended to compete with the Ford Fairlane, and Plymouth Belvedere, and to return to the Chevrolet lineup a model similar in size and concept to the popular 1955-57 models. The Chevelle’s 115-inch wheelbase was the same as that of the 1955-57 Chevy. The available 283-cubic-inch four-barrel V8 engine rated at 220-horsepower was the same rating as the 1957 Chevy Power-Pak 283 engine.

Only 23 1967 Shelby GT Mustangs (3223 were made) were painted Bronze Metallic

I had an uncle who could sleep next to that thing while it was running.

Looks like a nice 18' Donzi on the lift.

You can’t make this stuff up
 

That’s where my 67 RS/SS came from. The original ordered his car in December 66, said if he waited a couple of weeks, he could have ordered a Z/28! It was about a mile from my house, and we drove past it on our way to grandmas house in Richmond Hill. They always had cool stuff in that round showroom!
