Winged Chrysler Cars Made History—by Robert Tate—Automotive Historian and Researcher When you look at the history of the Road Runner Super-bird model and the Dodge Daytona for 1969 and 1970, they looked like they were designed for racing. The models offered great styling with hidden headlamps, along with a good looking front nose design which was admired by most consumers. 1969 and 1970 were great years for racing fans. For example, 1970 was a good year for NASCAR, and the Plymouth Road Runner Superbird Models created a lot of interest and performance on race tracks. For 1970, Plymouth manufactured 1,920 units of the Road Runner Superbird model, which attracted many racing fans including Richard Petty, who was a big Plymouth fan.
