Why are there so many Dodge Scamps?
I recently Google image-searched "Plymouth Scamp" and was slack-jawed at the number of Plymouth Scamps wearing Dodge Bumblebee stripes. I'd guesstimate that nearly 25% of the Scamps pictured were cross-dressed up as Dodges. Why is this? I know that Plymouth never offered a performance oriented Scamp as Dodge did with the Dart which would leave owners without a blueprint for their personal performance Scamp builds, but Plymouth did offer many cool stripes over the muscle years which lend themselves well to working on the Scamp body. Of course I realize how easy it is to slap a Bumblebee stripe on a Scamp since it uses the Dart body but it just isn't right. You'd never stick a Roadrunner bird on your Coronet 500, right?
Now check these two Scamps out.. both wearing stripes that mimic their sister the Duster, yet are shaped to match the Scamp's body-lines. They're fantastic, and you would never have to face the "Mopar Police" at your local cruise night. You all know the type of person that I'm talking about...
Dodges were the cars with the Bumblebee stripes... proud members of the Dodge Scat Pack... never Plymouths. Plymouth had the Rapid Transit System which was equally as cool, some say more-so, so embrace your Plymouth!

Join me later for my rant on Duster side stripes slapped on Demons and Dart Sports.... :soapbox::lol:
