Love those. In the days before hyperaccurate wind tunnel testing, it was thought that the needlenosed ‘Bird would cut through the air....later they learned that a rounded teardrop shape does better.

But this looks 100x cooler.

What are some examples from that era that were rounded teardrop shape? Seems the Superbird/Daytona is still more aero with the nose cone than with a stock Charger or Roadrunner.
