«We first introduced Road Runner in '68. It was love at first sight. A performance car for people who want a car to perform. A car with a low price for people who haven't stashed away their first million yet. A car with a personality for people who don't just think of a car as a hunk of iron that moves. It all clicked. In 1969 Motor Trend named Road Runner, "Car of the Year". For 1970, we present a new Road Runner. We changed it very carefully. In the right places, for the right reasons. You'll love it. Again. The loved bird.»

Well, and then there is the 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird, here in 'Lemon Twist Yellow', but that's a different love story ... (image via FastMuscle)
