I thought I would pass along this shot
I got of David Pearson's 1964 Dodge at
the Moonshine Festival in Dawsonville, GA.

Cotton Owens and his wife in David Pearson's 1964 Dodge at the 37th Annual Moonshine Festival

Who did I find sitting in the Dodge
but Cotton Owens and his wife.

That made my day.

I enjoy your site although my MOPAR's are all memories now. Keep up the good work.

Editors Note: The 37th Annual Moonshine Festival, October 23rd and 24th 2004 The Moonshine Festival explores Dawson County's history during the prohibition era when liquor was illegal and the Great Depression of the 1930's when running moonshine through the foothills of the Northeast Georgia Mountains was a way of life. Thousands of tourist flock to the birthplace of NASCAR racing to hear about storied legends, Seay, Hall, Parks, and Gober Sosbee.

Thanks Jim!

Great pictures and historic vehicle. The Hemi hits NASCAR in 1964!

As Richard Petty wrote: " In 1964 it was our turn....I've never been in anything that felt quite like the hemi. The power was there all the time...[the hemi] sounded like it was going to suck the hood in."
