Re: Some national event pics
April 1972 Cars magazine touts 73 SD 455 GTO as car of the year www.abodysite.com/73sd455lit/html. I do beleive Pontiac made 3 but only made trans Ams and Formulas with that engine for the Gen. public. I think the Grand Am got the reg 455. Not sure what that car is ( home made etc ) Anybody else?

Seems only the old 'useless' stuff sticks anymore? . I sometimes wonder if it should be blamed on the auto manufacturers as my memory retention started failing right around the same time they stopped making visable changes each model year? . Back when us car kooks knew every car on the road even at night, the mind was sharp! . Right around the time the manufacturers started sneaking in an extra year or two without changes, the mind started going soft? . Now so many look alike brands and cars that are so un-interesting that who cares.....and the mind goes even weaker? . So is it GM's fault I forgot my lunch today....or that I went to the store for milk last week in a t-shirt and boxers? . Something to think about? .  ~ Pete
