Commander 57 ◊ 2017-10-09 14:26	This appears to be a '65 Daytona sport coupe but a closer/clearer photo would help. (The car does not appear to have a rear door.) There are numerous exterior ways to distinguish a '64 from a '65. A) There were no '65 Challengers. B) Daytonas for '64 had side trim with a dark center insert. The '65's had a bright center insert, like the Cruisers. C) Early '64 models all had white parking lamp lenses. Later '64's and all '65's had amber lenses. D) The rear nameplates on all models except station wagons changed position from '64-'65. They were on the upper part of the decklid edge in '64 (in various style, depending on model) but were moved to the lower panel under the decklid for '65. E) In '64, Challengers and Commanders had quad lamps optional. All '65 models had quads. F) Daytonas in the '64 lineup consisted of sedans, 2-door hardtops, convertibles and station wagons. For '65, the sedans, hardtops and convertibles were all dropped, but a sport coupe (with "B" pillar) was added (what the subject car appears to be.) And to dispel a popular myth, there is NO difference between the grilles of '64 and '65 models, despite depiction in early '64 advertising illustrations.

There are numerous exterior ways to distinguish a '64 from a '65.
A) There were no '65 Challengers.
B) Daytonas for '64 had side trim with a dark center insert. The '65's had a bright center insert, like the Cruisers.
C) Early '64 models all had white parking lamp lenses. Later '64's and all '65's had amber lenses.
D) The rear nameplates on all models except station wagons changed position from '64-'65. They were on the upper part of the decklid edge in '64
(in various style, depending on model) but were moved to the lower panel under the decklid for '65.
E) In '64, Challengers and Commanders had quad lamps optional. All '65 models had quads.
F) Daytonas in the '64 lineup consisted of sedans, 2-door hardtops, convertibles and station wagons. For '65, the sedans, hardtops and convertibles were all dropped, but a sport coupe (with "B" pillar) was added (what the subject car appears to be.)
