 I didn't have to race out at 5am this morning for a change. So I called George to order the docs on my 61. He faxes me the form and there is a spot to fill out if you want some day service for a fee. Well if you guys have not figured me out yet I hate to wait for thing. Yes I paid the extra $16 to get them today. So when I get home and check the faxes there they are. OK now I will get to the point today is Nov 18 2010 well the car left the plant Nov 18 1961 is that not cool or what. What is the chances of that happening 49 years to the day I order the docs. That has got to be a once in a life time if I ever seen one.

I sold my brother the 64 SD Beaumont. When he got the GM docs it was built on his birthday. My 67 Mustang was built a day before my birthday

I think Mariapolis has about 50 people. Looked at some property there a couple years ago.

When that car was new, it was likely the talk of the town!

I know it's a cliche Vern but I think you should consider buying a Lotto ticket.

That is bizzare Fred, I have never seen a Canadian sold car like that on a US PMD window sticker, usually the window sticker says GM Canada.

That's sweet Vern.

I know a family living at Mariapolis.  My sister used to hang around with the guy when she was younger, late 60's. When she is back from vacation (she's retired, I have NO idea when that will be!) I will see if I can find out any history for you.

Very cool! My '75 Grand Am was delivered to the first owner on Nov 14th, which happen's to be my birthday. The original glovebox material has that in-service date on it.

Today - 19 November - is my birthday. It's also International Men's Day. My wife's birthday is 8 March and guess what? It's International Women's Day! Spooky, huh?

Today is also World Toilet Day but the less said about that....
