I was going through my junk box and found a couple "road" and "runner" lettering sets that I took off the trunks of cars about 20+ years ago, and can't remember which cars got these. They both have dual pins on the back. Anyone know what all years got these?
 
i believe that 71-2 had no trunk lettering..only decal on right side stock satellites had "plymouth" above the keyhole
 
I'm not sure about the later years I though they just had the decals as stated above I do know 68 and 69' have road runner on the trunks.
 
My 69, same all around rear, both sides

I've never had anything but 72, 73, and 74 Roadrunners. WTH did these come from?
 
70 it wasnt on the deck lid that was a decal reflective tail stripe

but 69 and 70 those same metal emblems mounted on the door in 69 and on the quarter panel in 70 . Same exact ones also i believe the volare RR's used them but they didnt have the pins they were just an adhesive stick on emblem but the same size and font .

The pined version of those pot metal badges were used primarily, from 69-72, on the body sides at various locations from year to year. 69’ doors, 70’ aft of side scoops, 71’ quarter panel-above rear wheel wells, & 72’ forward of rear wheel openings, just aft of door, 1 ¾” up from detail line. The 69'RR, 70’ RR, & RR super birds without the rear tape stripe used them on the trunks lids. A stick-on version of those badges was used from 73' and up, again at various locations in the later years with some of them on 73-74’ RR deck lids with a standing bird decal.
I do recall the pinned versions being superseded by the stick-on versions at some point later on, and having to use stick-on badges over holes on earlier cars.

I thought they did, but I only see the standing bird these days. But wasn't the 73-74 the ones that used the adhesive on the back?
