Golden Anniversary Today! 50 Years with my Daytona

[Daytona Jim]

It can't be 50 years ago that I saw the Daytona in the showroom window of Van Ness Dodge in San Francisco. But its true. We've been through good times and bad. Unemployment, divorce, wildfire, but stayed together. July 14th. 1970, a day that actually changed my life in many ways.

That's pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats!! I guess since you had the car before getting married (?) you were able to keep it. Anyways, had a 66 Belvedere as my first car and had to sell it when I left for overseas in the military. I found another sedan 33 years ago and still have it. All I got to do now is get it back together!
