On January 11, 1969. Beatrice, a high school student went to Wm. A, Gehman & Sons Chrysler-Plymouth in Emmaus, PA , and took delivery of a brand new 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner Convertible! Was it due to the fact that Motor Trend named the Roadrunner "Car of the Year" for 1969? Whatever it was that drew her to the car, it must have stuck because this beautiful car remained in her possession until this past Spring. Only 68,000 miles were accumulated in her 57 years of ownership. Assembled at the Newark, Delaware Assembly plant and one of only 2,128 Convertible Roadrunners ever built. The fender tag remains and has never been removed and decodes as follows: (code R21) AM/FM Radio. (code 26) Heavy Duty Cooling System. (code AO1) Light Group- Fender, trunk, glovebox, map.
