Press release photos of Superbirds

[bannedbird]

I am trying to determine if the attached image has been seen by anyone before.  I was thinking it is a "canned" Plymouth / Chrysler Corp press release photo of Richard Petty next to a Superbird.  This photo was printed mid to late 1970 by Lowe's regarding their give away car (different thread on this forum). Is it a Lowe's only photo or a photo supplied to dealerships by Plymouth?

I was also wondering if there is a web location showing a collection of all the publicity or sales photos for the Superbird. Like the Petty garage 2-page spread, or the single page ads. 

So... two questions:
1) Has anyone seen this shot of Richard next to a B5 factory stock Superbird before?
2) Is there a pool of 1970 published or Plymouth press release Superbird images?

Someone told me that Petty was given a Hemi Superbird as a daily street driver - possibly the photo is of that car? Anyone else hear about Plymouth giving Petty a street version?

No and no, to your original 2 questions.
Petty's Bird was white, IIRC.

The White Superbird that Richard owned is very well known.

But, did Richard own another street-'Bird during the early 70's?

Wasn't there a Superbird that went to Pete Hamilton when he won either Daytona or Talladega? And did that car go to Pete (driver) or Petty (owner)?
