The Daytona would definitely be around even if Newman didn’t wear one, in my opinion. Even without him, it is a staple.Would the Daytona still be in production today if not for Paul Newman? Or would it not be as sought after? What if Janice, Jimmy and Morrison had all been wearing a Daytona when they died rather than a white Bic in their left pocket at age 29? Honestly, disregard that last line of total BS, but I really don’t think the Daytona would’ve survived if not for Newman.
