I was asked to help participate in an wind tunnel aero study of old vs new Chargers. I let them use a Daytona. Still have specifics to post. It was a very cool experience.....

Joe Robb, was a young clay modeling engineer for Chrysler who actually spent time in the wind tunnel shaping the nose cone. It was interesting as he said none of the Senior modelers wanted the Job, as it required travel to Ohio and a stay away from home.....so he was stuck with the assignment.

He was at MCACN a couple of years ago.

Great "rest of the story" stuff Stefano. Is that a naval officer submariner warfare badge on his cover?

US Air Force...the one pin looks like the 167'th Regiment?
Cars are cool but please pass a heartfelt thank you on to him for his service!
Someone wiser please correct but the aircraft pins look like a Boeing B17 &amp; a Mitchell B25?
