Now that you mention it, Jim, a lot of South-Bend-built 1964 models are having 50th Birthdays, starting last month and for the balance of calendar year 2013.
Anybody have one?

My '63 Turned 50 in mid January on the day before my birthday. I gave it a set of brake cylinders as a birthday present.
In May we had our 1 year anniversary together, and it got a Carter AFB carburetor.
And I thought being in a relationship with a woman could be expensive and time consuming!

If you are asking, "On what day did 1954 model year production begin in late 1953," I do not know the answer.

For my 59 Lark's 54th birthday, I gave it a new head gasket. It was very grateful.

My '55 is a January baby, My '66 is a February Baby so I let them sleep in for a couple of months for their birthdays. My '64, I just acquired this spring it is an April Baby, I brought it to its new home. I think birhdays are over-rated and expensive so next year I will get them nothing.sigpic
