Anytime the "King" did something out of the ordinary it made news in the late sixties and most of the seventies but this little roof treatment had everybody guessing. I'm not sure if it was an attempt at improving airflow over the Road Runner's roof or something stolen from the fashion world.
The breaking up of top and bottom in clothing by contrasting colors is used to hide some of the "demension problems" in people and the concept could have well been at work in the Petty camp for the Daytona 500 in '68. He had the fastest Mopar by far and if you noticed he had a two toned Plymouth at Daytona for the Firecracker race also.
Petty has been accused of lots of things-subtle, crafty, even downright sneaky. But he ain't never been accused of being dumb when it concernces his race cars. Kinda makes you go HMMMMM. Don't it?
