69 Charger R/T on the television show Hawaii 5 0. The car appears to be F5 green, Stripe delete,with the Chrysler airtemp sticker on the right rear quarter window,14 inch wheels with full wheel covers. No dork dish hubcaps on this R/T! No vynal top either! The episode was season two episode 23 from 1970!

Same wheel discs and white walls that my new '69 SuperBee came from the factory with. Dork Discs! They didn't stay on the car very long. I like watching Hawaii 50 (the original series) just to see what I can find in the traffic scenes. Also to see McGarrett squeal his Merc's tires on dirt roads. Good catch!
 
June 1988. Youngest... who just had our latest Gbaby was not quite 3 months old. Wife and I had a booth at the Plastics show in McCormick Place Chicago. Afterwards I convinced her to hit the SMNationals in Du Quoin. Less than amused... we had to sleep in the car as couldn't get a room and then it was 109F in the shade the following day.

Somebody went to a lot of work to make a blue 1970 Daytona in that last photo. Too bad it does not have the flush mounted rear window.

The two known 70 Daytona's didn't have the flush mounted rear window. I believe they were built to be show cars,and were not held to the Nascar Homologation rules necessary to compete on the track. At the time they were built,Creative Industries was busily making the pieces to build 1935 Superbirds that had to be completed before January 1st of 1970,because of the newly instituted federal bumper regulations. I believe Creative couldn't fit these cars into the schedule for the rear window conversion.

So that wasn't your car...? Wondered why yall drove such a beast to a trade show; makes more sense now. :)
In 88, we drove our new-ish Ford pickup to the event due to not having a suitable other car at the moment, so I'm sure you have no photos of my vehicle. However, unless you took only Mopar pics, you might have some of a couple of friends. OH!.... and if you heard stories about some idiot setting off the fire alarm at the good ol Best Inns in Marion...it was an accident. No, really it was!
Loved the Street Machine Nationals.

Well, IF you were in Marion, the 'burnout hotel' was the Holiday Inn. It was just the other side of the lumber yard from the Best Inn...
