    January 24th of 1963. Happy Birthday

    Not really a tech post, but a big day for my car.

    This day in 1963, my old red coupe headed out of the plant in St. Louis. I would be born two years later. Over 40 years later, we crossed paths and now live happily ever after in Ohio ! My friends and family look at me kind of funny when I mention such a holiday. I knew you guys would get it !!

        Thanks Edward.

        That photo was taken in "my office" at BUDS Chevrolet in St. Marys, Ohio. That wall logo is done in raised plaster. Done in 1995 by a local artist. The logo is huge.

        Here's a shot of what it looks like on a normal day when the 63 is not visiting !
