Nothing wrong w those knafel and royal dealerships but most Pontiac guys are familiar w them . Stephens had an article written about them in 72 that caused a real blowout at GM oarts were taken back , racing programs cancelled. People quit, threw their stuff in their truck and drove off . It’s a crazy story all kinda funny now but at the time was a real Sh$t show
I learned quite a bit reading about Knafel. Yes, any diehard fan will know some of these dealerships quite well but for generalist muscle car fans most of these dealerships will be new to them. Do you have the book and have read the section on Knafel?
