I found this copy of "Cars" magazine from November 1969.  They did a road test of a protype Daytona (Hemi Orange / Black), though the color picture they have is of a Bright Green Daytona.  They mentioned the prototype model they drove vented the engine compartment through the fender vents...  :scratchchin:   A fair amount of the story was about all the weird looks they got and some comments from people on the street.  Makes you realize just how outragous these were back then.  Fun reading!

I see where it says if Dodge tries to sell that thing they will be laughed out of business. I wonder how long this magazine lasted :scratchchin:

That was a quote from a passer-by, not from the writers...

Yes, similar to an A12 hood pin wire.

I recall the odd hood pins must have been a early car. I got it somewhere .I tried to get any issue or ad with a aero car
