Different Daytona Pic

[2fast4u]

   I was wondering if anybody can shed any light on this paticular photo of a '69 Charger Daytona.     It seems to be a factory photo(guessing) but the seats are 1970 high back buckets!   What gives?

Almost looks like an artist's conception drawing......notice the weird way the hood pin lanyards are magically appearing through the hood ?

Those seats look quite a bit wider,and more square at the top than the 70 Charger seats are. My guess is that those may have been the prototype high back seats,that were eventually refined into the production 70 Charger seats. i think the 70 Charger high back bucket seats were the best bucket seats of the muscle car era.

intresting photo never seen that one before , could be another  missing link  to the 70 daytona mystery

its a photoshop
the proportions are a bit out, look at the distance from the hood indents to the nosecone
also the paint aroud the rear wing is a bit darker
thats also why the hoodpin lanyards just appear

i dont think they had photshop in the era that illustration was made.
also notice that there's no antenna or rear view mirror or pass side pentasta, and the lighting and shadows don't jive with the seashore...
in those days of yore it was known as "Photo-realism". and was a quality much in demand at advertisers and at automakers art studios...
thanks for the pic I had never seen it either..

The picture looks similar to a 69 superstock magazine article picture.Where they show a 69 daytona at the beach

If I remember right.   Back in that era, they did more paint touch-up on photos to change an appearance of something.  Some of those artist were pretty good!

  O.K...
  I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess this is a Pre-production artists rendering, it may be baised on a earlier (69) photo and touched up,.. critical contours are just plain off. like the reflections around the hood indents, the seats looked lifted from the Supercharger Concept and the nose area around the sidmarkers looks like a guess. IMO.. all the promo. pics lack antennas but the missing pentastar is a new touch.
  where'd ya find this Please?..

Looks a lot like the heavily retouched and airbrushed B&W illustrations they used to feature in publications like Popular Mechanics and so forth.

   I just ran an image search on google for a 69 charger daytona and it was in one of the many photos.....you know when you click on the photo, there are more pics inside of similar things your looking for depending on the site.  I'm really not sure where I found it!  sorry!
