No Reserve: Duke & Duchess Daytona

Cars, Features I By Justin Cornelison I December 28, 2022

An interesting car will be crossing the Mecum auction block next month: a 1969 Dodge Daytona, affectionately named the Duke & Duchess Daytona.  Admittedly, we didn’t know much about the back story of this rare American muscle car, so we did a little dive into the world wide web and found an excellent article introducing the original owner of the car, Big Willie Robinson.

Big Willie owned 3 Daytonas, and this one is the only one known to still be in existence.

Read all about Big Willie here.
