Hard to believe this one has turned into a "then and now" so soon. Queen and her court with GTX number five at our 45 year high school reunion in 2016. Same trio with a guest this week at our "71st birthday gathering."

My Dad had a 1961 Dodge 2-door hardtop; white with red interior. It was a lower level Pioneer with a smaller rear window and Slant 6 with column-shifted 3-speed manual transmission. I learned quickly that V-8 cars had vents in the hood leading edge bright trim, while 6's did not. Dad's car did not have the tacked-on round tail lights. Being a Canadian car, it had the Plymouth dash with 2 round gauge pods bracketing the speedometer. I thought the reversed fins were weird, but at least the Dodge was better looking than the hideous 1961 Plymouth.

People talk of rare cars and I've seen how American car manufacturers changed up the same car, same year for different markets. That within itself, given how many were built for that market, make for sweet finds.
