How come Darts don't have side stripes? Usually only tail stripes, anyone got pics otherwise?

How come Darts don't have side stripes

because the body lines just look better without them..

I respect that. Just trying to save you some grief. Seems like every time I take my Swinger out I have to explain that it isn't a 340 car because the previous owner put the 340 scoops on.

Just nod your head and say Yes because it's easier than explaining it.

Looks like a "Cuda" stripe.

This looks interesting...

Nope. It doesn't even follow the lines of the car.

Yes but that is a stock '68 GTS stripe.

I found a few pics (out of about a hundred photos viewed) with stripes. Not too many out there with side stripes.

With the 70-72, you won't find much if any factory side stripes on Darts Swingers. It was butt stripes or side moulding. The fender extensions change the body line a lot, imo

Plenty of 67-69 side stripes

Small side stripes rock on Darts

One small center strip is the only thing that looks correct on 70-and-up Darts.

Never was a big fan of "notice ME, officer" graphics.

Here's one from Bad 440/ "Maaco Mike"....
I like ,how it is Mopar traditional.... But not ,normal....

Do a search for pics from "Milehighdart" I think he has white n blue.
Also Mike "2darts" has a few very nice darts. Silver gts ragtop with red pinstripes

Mine is white and blue, but it's a bumblebee stripe, not a side stripe.

 

[MileHighDart]

I did toy with the idea of a side stripe, here's a pic when I was messing with that idea. I just did this stripe out of blue masking tape, just to get an idea what it would look like.

You could make the bumblebee horizontal with a wheel stand??
Love your color combo

I wonder if I should just do the pinstripe that was on it originally...

I'm partial to the butt stripes on 70-72s
