What color should a Shaker hood bubble be on a B7 car??
« on: September 27, 2006 - 04:35:59 PM »
The question is what color Argent or Black on a 1970 Challenge in the color B7
I have seen some black and some Argent I like them both but When I do this I would prefer it to look as original as I can.
Thanks
 :dunno:

I'm not positive, But 70 was argent and 71 was black. In 70 red cars could be painted body color.

99% of them were painted silver argent in 1970, a very few late cars were black organasol. As far as I know blue was not a color choice on the bubbles.

So, if the 70 Challenger came with a shaker, AND either a wing or a TA style spoiler, was the shaker silver while the wing black? Or did the black wing/spoiler dictate a black shaker? I'm assuming the wings and spoilers mounted on the trunk wern't body color, but always black here too, I guess....

Interesting what marketing thought vs. what sales sold.

Interesting!
OK. Was there EVER a time when a shaker was Argent Silver with a black Organisol spoiler or wing? Just one of those questions I've wondered about for a while and hoping someone knows... If so I'd love to see a picture. I like the Argent shaker, and the boy racer look of the wing or spoiler, but I'm not so sure the two would look so hot if they were 2 different colors on one car. Black all round probably looks the best, if the rear "flash" is present...

Every "real" car "I" can remember seeing was this way.
