September 2012:
Fall means September, which is when a bunch of birthdays happen in my family including Dad's, my sister - and the GTO.
It was 48 years ago this month when Dad and I headed down to Royal to pick the car up. We've had a couple small outings, in the spirit of celebration -
My wife needed to go to the bank so (since I knew I had a captive audience) I busted the old goat out to run into town:
We also had a little local church car show last weekend and Eric White (gtoric) convinced me to bring one of the cars out for display. The GTO got called upon for that one, too, since it was so close by.
There was a guy there with a newly purchased black '73 Laguna so during the course of the conversation he convinced me that I should bring mine as well. I ran back to the house (...literally - like a mile, on foot...) and drove back in the Chevelle.
Some other notable Pontiacs:
Marc White - '67 GP convertible:
Eric White - '67 GTO:
One of the visitors said "hey, that's pretty cool that you were able to find a drawing that's just like your car...." - lol.
All in all I think there were just over 100 cars on the property. Pretty nice representation of Pontiacs, many of whom are in the Widetrackers Chapter of the POCI.
