| | Hemmings Motor News: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona |
 | | Dodge, partnered with Detroit-based Creative Industries, had already improved on the aerodynamics of the 1968-'69 Charger with the 1969 Charger 500, replacing the flying-buttress rear glass with a flush-mounted backlight and fitting a flush-mount 1968 Coronet grille. |
 | | In February 1969, Bob McCurry, Dodge's general manager at the time, reportedly said it was the ugliest car he had ever seen while ordering it ready by April, thus allowing Dodge to run the car in the inaugural Talladega race that September. |
 | | Daytonas and any 440- or Hemi-powered Charger in 1969 (save for the 440 Six Pack cars) had a 3/8-inch fuel line, versus the 5/16-inch line used for Chargers powered by anything up to a 383-cu.in. |
