Another ad layout with a non-production car only this time it's a 1970 Buick. Notice the GS emblem on the front grille (but it's not a GS) and the off color convertible boot. |

The 1964 GTO was originally planned to have Front Disc Brakes and Michelin radial tires. Both were nixed by Ed Cole, head of the GM car and truck group. |

My understanding is that they were experimenting with the package and trying to determine if they preferred paint or a large decal. I was told they did a red car as well, and ran into a racing buddy years later that was familiar with the red car. Another story, regarding those “GTO” stickers on the quarter panels: ours came off the first time we ran it through an automatic car wash. It was one of those where you get out and the worker runs the car through. After our car popped off the end of the line the worker drove it way off in the corner of the lot, where the owner of the car wash and a couple other workers congregated around it. Dad wandered over to see what in the heck was going on. “Van, I’ve got some bad news” the owner said, nervously. “Those little decals came right off”. Dad paused for a minute, looking at the car, and finally said “well – I guess that means I won’t have to pull ‘em off”. (Whew!) |
One more – we took our ’68, which was our family/tow car, to a local petting zoo when I was a kid.
When we came out afterwards we noticed a bunch of people gathered around looking at something. There was an animal up on the hood of one of the cars in the parking lot. As we got closer we realized it was OUR car: there was a goat on the hood of our new GTO. We thought it was hilariously funny: a goat on the hood of our “goat”. Dad did not think it was hilariously funny.* K *As an aside, I was probably 45 years old before I realized you could touch the painted surface of a car and not have something terrible happen. I teased the guys in the shop when they would make me wear anti-mutilation protection (ring guards, belt protectors, etc) around the build vehicles. "Are you kidding me?" I'd say. "I used to have a car worth more than my house!" "Used to?" they'd ask. "What happened?". My reply: "I got a bigger house." ;) |

San Alfonso del Mar is a private resort in Algarrobo, Chile, about 60 miles west of Santiago, basically has a view of two coasts at once: It directly overlooks the Pacific Ocean, sure, but it also boasts the world's largest swimming pool. This saltwater pool, which held the first-ever Guinness world record for largest man-made lagoon, is the exact same crystal-clear turquoise hue of the sea just beyond it. Its size is truly hard to fathom: The pool's more than a kilometer long, covering nearly 20 acres in area-that's bigger than 15 football fields!-and it holds a colossal 250 million liters of filtered ocean water. |
