Super Bird/ Daytona Sales

I remember when I was around 7 or 8 years old sitting in the back of my Mom's Chebby station Wagon driving past the Chrysler / Plymouth Dealerships on the North Shore of Massachusetts and looking with wide eyed amazement at these wild looking cars with the cartoon bird on the back of the car with the huge wing, I wish I was older because I always thought that these were some awesome looking cars. Especially when seeing all the different colors of Birds, Runners,Challangers, Cudas, Dusters, etc... lined up on the front of the dealers lot. Kind of like the new chally's of today that are lined up outside the dealers with the old school colors and the "Hot Rod" looks. When I was older I could have realistically have bought a Bird in the early 80's with the money I had saved in my bank account but in hindsight I am glad I did not because I was pretty reckless and went through a lot of older cars with my wild side and did not appreaciate what a real Muscle car was at that point in my life. But these were one of a kind cars and they do garner my respect for the courage that Chrysler had to put these on the dealers lot and even though sales were poor, you have to admit that these were true Muscle Machines and in my opinion, I think that these were some of the most beautiful and wild cars ever produced by Detroit.
