Script called for a beat up 70's era muscle car. I added a cheap ass looking metal wing. It wa s a call back to a friend's '73 Charger R/T. He wanted a rear wing (Not a Superbird type) I suggested he get a deflector wing from an older full size MoPar wagon. Thought the brushed metal would look pretty cool on that car, at the time... ( he was just a sophomore, I was a Junior.... who cared what people tight.)


This was my sketch of his car painted silver (over the metallic brown) with a black, rather than white vinyl top and more MoPar touches to make it more muscular looking. From 1980-81
(It had a choked out 318 and the kid threw out the u-joints one night after running the car up to 70 then throwing the shifter into reverse. Still don't know what he could have possibly been thinking... what a dope. Hmmm, maybe it was dope...)
