I know BB King was especially gregarious on the stage. I guess SRV was too, I remember a video where he was playing some bar and a drunk guy walked over to him and stuck out his hand looking for a handshake from SRV and SRV shook the guys hand while playing his guitar solo. That was cool.
That car is totally awesome. Beautiful and unique and cool as can be!
In England they call my car a Daimler
I think this car may be tangentially related to the Daimler that is Daimler/Benz. For some period, Daimler/Benz and Chrysler had a partnership, as memory serves.
I'd have no idea why they'd call your car that, as it was owned by Ford at the time. It was either 'Special Vehicles' or 'Performance Division', as memory serves, but that's a fuzzy memory. Maybe 'Performance Group', though that's a current name - but they often just go by 'Ford Performance'.
I think that Jaguar purchased Daimler somewhere along the way before they were purchased by Ford. I just looked, it was 1960

Yeah, that's a completely different Daimler than the Benz's Daimler.
I think that's the same Daimler that is this company, the company that made the car I'll be driving tomorrow.
