My Vintage Daytona Trio.................

Good morning fellow vintage fanatics;
For all those Daytona lovers out there--here is my current trio with the newest acquisition: 1968 6241 Paul Newman 3 color--a perfect fit with my 1982 6239 Big Red and my 1970 6262 Tropical Daytona. Happy New Year all and hope that everyone gets their grail in 2011:

PS--I just realized I posted wrong model# on my second watch--It is a 6263--not a 6239!! That is what happens when I wake up too early after staying up too late!! LOL
