What is the consensus here about how they were put on at the factory? I remember reading a Govier article once that said the car was painted the stripe color, the stripes were masked off, then the car was painted the body color.

Anyone have an original Charger with the stripes? I'm guessing they weren't vinyl from the factory.

my 68 charger has never been painted and its stripe is not painted. in fact its starting to crack pretty good. you would think they could make a stripe that would last longer then 40 years.  :2thumbs:
