RE: local car show

[62pluckedchicken@xxxxxxxxx]

when I bought my car, I had expectations as to how many people would 
recognize it...

My third gas station stop, heading home after buying it, a guy comes out 
of nowhere and says "Nice 62 Chrysler.. is that a Newport or New 
Yorker?" This blew me a away! how common are these cars?

then he said "I was dropp'n off an Imperial, and saw your car" and in 
the next lot I saw his winged Daytona.. The guy was Joe Machado..LOL

Suffice it to say no one since has had a clue (except you guys) as to 
what make model or year my car is.. the kid that called it an "Easter 
Egg" car has come the closest ;)
