#501 69 Daytona 4 Spd SE vintage dealer ad

[nascarxx29]

The ad car formerly belonged to Chrysler Engineering also featured as a cover car and show car.My guess is Dale Reeker 287970 which is a SE 4 spd .Or even maybe the Press release car magazine cover with taped out headlights.Also found another ad for the last FJ5 hemi superbird and a 1971 used car ad for a 69 daytona for $1888.00

144th and Euclid isn't exactly great territory these days, but I'll have to drive by and see what's there now.

I searched the location looks like a neighborhood development. If I searched right on google .Also East Cleveland Dodge was one time Cooley motors.Gordon Cooley was president of East Cleveland Dodge.Ive been gathering and been trying to compile more material on this car for sometime not found on here

Man Dave, where do you come up with this stuff? Do you have a subscription to http://www.newspaperarchive.com/ ? I was trying to look for something out of a paper in Paducah, Ky back in '69 for Parker Dodge. Wouldn't it be cool if I could find an original ad for my Daytona.

Didn't know you were posting much on the site. I hope you stick around a bit.  I have been meaning to swing out to check out the car lately, but just haven't gotten around to it. Seems every time I think I"ll have some free time something else pops up.

Not really,....when you consider the average (middle income) in 1970 was $6100 a year,..... even that used 69 Daytona for $1888, that ad is probally no older than 1972, the middle income was still no more than $7000

danny, you are welcome to look at the car any time you want. i bought a bigger building that i hope to move cars to in the spring which will make it easier to look at the daytona.

Got alot of more to go seeing if the daytona list car and ad car show up .Finding alot of Hemi cars and 69 Charger 500s.Even found a green on green 69 500 demonstrator

[hemigeno]

John (#501) asked that I post the page from his warranty booklet with the dealership stamp.  Pretty neat stuff, although the April delivery date is likely when the warranty clock started running.  October is probably when Mr. Hodge picked the car up.

[Aero426]

What is the date of the newspaper in the Daytona ad at top of the thread?

[tan top]

intresting 

[maxwellwedge]

I got 2 warranty booklets with Doc. One for the crazy kids that bought it with the bum check and the other for the good doctor. Problem is - the pages are all stuck together. I guess I should send them to a museum to see if they can safely un-stick them.....for a fee   

[nascarxx29]

The April date hmmn .Im pretty sure I had gotten another daytona annoucement postcard .From I think was Les at a car meet It was stamped April on back and It it said DR Crandall April 69 where it was stamped .Not sure if it went with this particular car zoomed in version

What is the date of the newspaper in the Daytona ad at top of the thread?

It says 1/2/11 at the bottom right. I know the economy's bad right now, but that's a deal & a half! 

[nascarxx29]

It was in one of these 69-70 O paper searchs. I got working on John TPR Daytona original owners dealership ad where he saw the daytona first

[69daytona]

Hi all,
  Just a little thanks to Johntpr for the lead to this site.  I'm the original owner of the 69 Daytona shown in the Capitol Dodge ad.  Someone had mentioned earlier about the price of the cars.  About a year after purchasing my Daytona, I quit my job due to an ongoing divorce and took a 50% cut in pay.  Hard to imagine it now but at the time, it was very hard for me to be able to make the $86.00 a month car payments and had to sell it.  Unlike most other Daytona and Plymouth Superbird owners, I was lucky to find a buyer, Jack Buttino, who kept the car garaged and in it's original shape.  Over the years, the Daytona has had 2 other owners who have also kept the car in top condition.  John, You are a credit to the car and the memories of it's previous owners.
Thanks
Leon 
Dave,  There was an article and picture on the Daytona in either the Trenton Times or Trentonian Newspapers but I'm not sure of the year.     

[nascarxx29]
