hood scoops

[1958300]

OK, in an effort to break my well documented addiction to 1972 Rallye Chargers, I have started looking at 1970 Coronets. Still hung up on air grabber hoods, and I have run across a mystery. I thought only the 3rd Gen cars had different hoods in an effort by Ma Mopar to confuse us all 35 years later, but I am now seeing two different air grabber hoods on the 70 Coronets. One style has two separate scoops like the 1969, and one style has a center bulge with two inlets.

Can somebody tell me why there are two different hoods, and maybe a short history on the air grabber hoods on the 1968 and 1969 Coronets as well?

The center bulge hood is not a air grabber just standard hood.

Yep, the Coronet R/T and Super Bee had those two hoods to pick from! The center scoop or "power bulge hood" and the dual scoop or "ramcharger" the power bulge is only for looks and not functional -but it does look damn cool!
