Re: Anyone know this Maxie?

[Ronald Nies <383man@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thats good info as I dont have the 63 Dodge book but I do have the Ply book 
and it says 1196 total 1963 Ply Maxie's were built.  So thats 962 Dodge's 
and 1196 Plymouth's. A grand total of  2158 !    I have to wonder how many 
were bought as street cars and how many never saw the street and were just 
raced ?  Ron
