The stripe is on!

So why, you might ask, does the stripe have a bend in the middle of the trunk lid? The 69 and earlier lids were flat and when viewed from the back stripes appeared straight across the lid. When they tried straight stripes on the 1970 lid, from the back they looked bent. Clever Chrysler design folk installed the bend so that when viewed from the back, they appear straight (optical illusion). go ahead and try it, stand 10 feet or more from the back of the car.
