My parents ordered their 1961 Dodge Phoenix in the fall of 60, took delivery in
the spring of 61 and the first thing my father did was take the window sticker
off and store it away. I am now the owner of that Dodge and have the sticker
along with other odds and ends of paperwork. When I go to car shows I throw a
scanned reproduction of the window sticker out on the tonneau cover for people
to see. It never fails to draw more attention than alot of the rest of the car.
It's fun to hear the older crowd say how much money that was back then.
