Happy Birthday.

My car was built in Oct 1965 and I was born in July of 1965.  That's kind of close.  We are both mostly original and unrestored.  I think the car has had less repairs than me...

Neil,
Is your undercarriage as clean and fresh as your car's?  ;D  Happy birthday.  I'm about 2 months separated from my car's birthday in 1966.

Happy belated Birthday to you and your pagoda!  How do you know the exact B-Day of your pagoda?  Are you going by the date stamped on the steering wheel hub?

Happy Birthday and many adventures together to come!

There is a stamp on data card that you can consider a production date.

I have always thought that when the car rolled off the production line, the steering wheel hub was stamped with the date.

On the 15th of April, 1964, the car was twice as old as you. Now you're practically the same age. You're catching up ...
