Ever wonder why the Shaker Hood Bubble on the 1970 'Cuda was only available in Rally Red?
Originally there were supposed to be all the colors that Plymouth was offering on the Sport Mirrors and Elastomeric Bumpers. Unfortunately due to some issue with the bubble's physical properties, the paint didn't stick to the bubble. Shortly after the sale, it starting peeling off.
Plymouth saw what was coming - a major headache as far as time and money to repair the paint issue. They wanted to cancel the painted Shaker Hood Bubbles altogether. Unfortunately for Plymouth, inhouse counsel said; "you showed the painted bubble (in Rally Red) in your advertising. You can cancel all other colors . . . except the Rally Red."
