aRTy’s badge(s) of honor

aRTy’s lifelong aspiration came one step closer to reality today with the arrival of aRTy’s badges of honor.

aRTy’s ancestor, the Dodge Aspen R/T,  had several critical differentiations from its much more mundane sibling, the Dodge Aspen — a few hundred horsepower, a rear spoiler option and snazzy pinstripes. But no one feature contributed more to the Dodge Aspen R/T’s place in the annals of automotive history than its distinctive, windswept R/T decals.

Courtesy of a maquiladora decaling operation in Mexico, aRTy now has his very own gen-u-ine reproduction R/T decals.  Once installed, aRTy still won’t look a whole lot like his illustrious ancestor, but perhaps you won’t have to squint quite so hard to see the family resemblance.
