50 years ago yesterday I got off the bus in front of the Hamilton Studebaker plant, went in, got a tour then drove off in our new Daytona Wagonaire. The date of final assembly was 4/28/64 so I guess this may be a belated birthday.
I made it as far as Windsor, Ontario where I had to spend the night waiting for Customs to open in the morning. After finally clearing Customs I started off westbound through Detroit where I got my new car "greeting". A big clod of dirt rolled off the back of a low boy truck in front of me, bounced and got me in the windshield- * right in the middle of the windshield. It never got any worse and it's still there.
