My Pontiac Story

[Keith Seymore]

Another thread reminded me that I took some pictures during my summer vacation that I never got around to posting -

This is from Ludington, Michigan and is the original location of Stevenson Motor Sales, which is the agency my Grand Prix was sold through.

It is a small swap meet/flea market now.

Got a "new" Grand Prix yesterday -

This has been a long time coming. I've put about 10,000 miles on it since I've owned it (got it in Sept of '07).

June 2018:


I received a note that stated the Gilmore Museum (the "Red Barns") in Hickory Corners Michigan was looking for a GTO for their musclecar display til April 2019.

I thought "hey - free secure, heated storage through next winter". (lol)

So I dropped the car off yesterday afternoon. My wife and I looked around while they got the car situated in the display - front and center. (My apologies to Dan and Dennis Jensen for displacing their car).















And updated display:

The Gilmore has re-arranged a bit and moved the muscle car display into a different room.

One of my buddies was kind enough to send a couple photos.

I was there in the middle of October for an outdoor Blues fest and to check on things but they hadn't made the switch yet.






Right now the plan is for the GTO to stay there through April of 2021.

It's that time of year; I suspect dads all across America are being asked to drive their kids around "in an old car", and my house was no exception.

Last night was my turn - took the kids for a ride and then dropped my second oldest daughter at her Senior Prom. We managed to get a few (silly) shots amidst all the seriousness:

Keen eyed observers might notice the similarity between this photo (above) and the one I am attaching below:



My daughter popped that pose without any prompting from me. She must have seen "Marilyn" in the promotional pictures somewhere along the line and remembered.

I love you, sweetie!
