Strangely enough, the '79 and '80 Volare Road Runners had no running/standing bird decals. Looks like the last year to get the actual bird decals on your car from the factory was '78.

Anybody know why that was?

(My theory? The licensing deal with Warner Bros was a ten year agreement that started in 1968. After '78, it ended and they decided not to renew, but they kept the name because WB doesn't own that. Of course, that begs the question: why bother offering the package as an option at that point? It was so watered down by them...)
