Greenlight 1:64 2017 Dodge Charger Daytona Hemi, Yellow: Pennzoil

Dodge, an American automobile brand, produced three separate vehicles with the name Dodge Charger Daytona, all of which were modified Dodge Chargers. The name is taken from Daytona Beach, Florida, which was an early center for auto racing and still hosts the Daytona 500, one of NASCAR's premier events. The first use of the Daytona name on a car was on a version of the Studebaker Lark. The Daytona was the performance model of the compact Lark and it was produced from 1963–1966. The Dodge Charger was made to beat the competition in NASCAR, Americas Premier Racing Series.

The new 2017 Dodge Charger Daytona and Daytona 392 was unveiled in August 2016. It features a choice of either a 5.7 Liter or 6.4 Liter V8. The Daytona and Daytona 392 trim will also include the upgrades from the Super Track Pack(Sport Suspension, Custom Brake linings, and Goodyear Eagle F1 Tires). The car will be available for order starting in October 2016. Unlike the 2013 Daytona, the 2017 vehicles are not numbered. Insurance inquiry into a Daytona VIN shows the vehicle as a "2017 Dodge Charger Scat Pack 392". The Scat Pack is the R/T with the 392 c.i. engine. The Daytona is a package option on the Scat Pack.

The 2020 Daytona gets the 717-hp version of the standard Hellcat engine and is limited to 501 units

Pennzoil is an American oil company founded in Los Angeles, California in 1913. In 1955, it was acquired by South Penn Oil, a former branch of Standard Oil, headquartered in Oil City, Pennsylvania. In 1963, South Penn Oil merged with Zapata Petroleum, and the merged company was named "Pennzoil". In 1968, a United Gas Corporation was purchased by Pennzoil, through a "leveraged buyout", which was necessary as United was larger than Pennzoil.

During the 1970s, the company moved its offices to Pennzoil Place in Downtown Houston, Texas.

In 1977 a spin-off company was formed called POGO, an acronym for Pennzoil Offshore Gas Operators.

In 1999 Pennzoil's E&P business (known as PennzEnergy) was acquired by Oklahoma City-based Devon Energy and the business now known as the Pennzoil-Quaker State Company was purchased by Royal Dutch/Shell Group to form SOPUS—Shell Oil Products US.
