Road-Runner

The 1969 Road Runner retained mostly the same look with a few exceptions like taillights, grille, side marker lights, optional bucket seats, and new Road Runner decals.

The 1970 Road Runner arrived with new front and rear looks. Updates included a new grille, leather seats, hood, front fenders, quarter panels, single-piston Kelsey-Hayes disc brakes, and even non-functional scoops in the rear quarters.

The 1971 Road Runner was part of the Satellite group and its bodywork was completely changed to a more rounded "fuselage" design. It included a steeply raked windshield, hidden cowl, and deeply inset grille and headlights.

The 1972 Road Runner was nearly identical to the 1971, but with a few exceptions like new grille design, new taillights designed to match the new aerodynamic look of the grille, and new side marker lights.

The 1973 Road Runner received completely new sheet metal and had more conventional squared-up front-end styling, which resembled the four-door models and actually increased sales by 40%.

Plymouth took notice of how muscle cars began to deviate from their original recipe of cheap thrills. Thus, the Road Runner was created to bring that formula back into perspective.
