Another 1969 Road Runner...
The Plymouth Road Runner was intentionally tied to the famous cartoon character. In fact, Plymouth purchased the rights to use the name. An official licensee of Warner Bros. (paying $50,000 for the privilege), Plymouth used the image of the cartoon bird on the sides and the car had a special horn (with "Voice of Road Runner" labels) that sounds like the bird's signature 'beep, beep'. Some engine options (notably the 426 Hemi) included Road Runner "Coyote Duster" graphics on the air cleaner.
