  Plymouth (automobile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plymouth "sailboat logo" used from 1996 to 2001.
Plymouth was a brand of automobile based in the United States, marketed by the Chrysler Corporation and DaimlerChrysler from 1928 to 2001.

 Aero Warriors - 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona And The 1970 Plymouth SuperBird
Plymouth's '68 Road Runner was aerodynamically poor, and it became even more so when Richard Petty opted to race a Ford rather than pilot a boxy Plymouth in '69.
This made it abundantly clear to Plymouth that if they wanted Petty back in a Plymouth (and they wanted the all-time winningest NASCAR driver back very badly), they would need a car which Petty felt was competitive, and thus the SuperBird was born.
SuperBirds were built from a "body in white", bare chassis shipped from the factory to the car builders.

 Smith Stokes’ Plymouth Superbird
Many of the Superbirds were built simply to homogenize the body for King Richard Petty’s return to the Plymouth fold; not many were pre-ordered, and fewer still with special options.
Superbirds are unique by any measure, but Smith’s does fit that "ultimate car" ideal.
When the Superbird is resting at home, Smith can always take one of the other cars out, like his own 1971 Hemi ’Cuda coupe, or a Viper, or whatever else he decides to cruise that day.
