Went to my library and all the rads in the original road tests of the day look the same, not one flat black rad in the bunch. Of course without seeing the paint formula, the amount of gloss % can be debated to the grave. Anyway for those non-believers, check out "Mopar Muscle Cars" ISBN 0 946489 50 5. It has reprints of road tests back in the day. Go to pages:

10, 26, 32, 51, 58, 66, 87, 96.

Or, "Dodge Dart and Plymouth Duster" ISBN 0- 7603 - 0760 - 1. Compare the factory shot on page 41 to the incorrectly restored car on page 40.

I've got more, much, much more. Magazines from back in the day that numbers in the hundreds. An no, not one flat black Mopar rad.
