I have posted this photo before. Very surprised no one commented on it especially as the car is wearing 15" Magnum 500 wheels. Was Chevy considering making them and the accompanying 15" RWL tires an option? They should have IMO.

I believe it's a photo of a final prototype AAR 'Cuda without the production exhaust. AAR 'Cudas have the radio antenna on the rear fender, not the front as seen in this photo.

One of the big difference between the 1970 'Cuda and the Challenger R/T was the 340 Magnum engine. With the 'Cuda you had your choice of the standard 383 Magnum or the 340 Magnum (N/C). There was no 340 Challenger R/T. You wanted the 340 in the Challenger you ordered the RPO A66 340 Engine Package.

Back in 1996, now-decommissioned Concorde turbojets were something special indeed — there were only 20, and they could sustain cruising speeds up to a whopping 1,350 mph. Pepsi decided it needed a piece of this prestige, paying a confidential amount to have a Concorde painted blue and emblazoned with its logo. The jet completed only 16 flights to 10 cities with the special paint — it turns out the blue paint couldn't reflect or radiate heat as well as white, which meant the plane couldn't sustain its signature top speeds for more than 20 minutes.

To promote the third season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Amazon launched #MaiselDay on Thursday, when nearly 30 businesses in Santa Monica put up pink drapery and dropped prices to 1950s levels.

A Chevron gas station offered gas for 30 cents a gallon during the Amazon Studios "Maisel Day" in Los Angeles on August 15, 2019 in Santa Monica, California.

You can imagine how that turned out.
