1968 Plymouth Hemi Road Runner

Um, not to "nick pick" but the horn is suppoesed to be a light purple. You also forgot a drop of white paint iin the ceter of the steering wheel to simulate the trade mark horn button. "Beep, Beep"

Hmmm...according to my Mopar expert and his literature/documentation, the purple 'beep-beep" horns did not appear until the latter end of the '68 model and the beginning of the '69 model year. There is a small decal in the center of the steering wheel with the Plymouth symbol, but not the Roadrunner button that you are thinking of. You must be thinking of the '69 model which had those features.

John, I got the Plymouth hub caps from Scale Equipment Limited. http://www.seltd.net/24625cp.html

Thanks Allen and Antonio!

From what I understand, Plymouth spent a great deal of money on the sound of the right horn. They never got it and started using VW Bug horns.

Jim, you are correct! IIRC, Volkswagon complained to Chrysler about the horns, so they started painting them purple to show Volkswagon that they where from a different vendor.
