Paying $50,000 to Warner Brothers to use the name and likeness of their Road Runner
cartoon character (as well as a "beep-beep" horn), and using the Chrysler B platform as
a base (the same as the Belvedere, Satellite, and GTX), Plymouth set out was
beefed-up and improved; everything nonessential was left out. The interior was spartan,
lacking even carpets in early models, and few options were available. A could be used.
The earliest of the 1968 models were available only as 2-door coupes could be used.
(with a centerpost between the front and rear windows), but later in the model year a
2-door "hardtop" model (sans centerpost) was offered. The Road Runner of 1968-1970
was based on the Belvedere, while the GTX was based on the Satellite, a car with
higher level trim and slight differences in the grilles and taillights.
