That RG '69 is stunning. That may be the best RG I've ever seen, wow.

There are many planes that claim the title of the best of World War II. Meet the P-38 Lightning: In 1937, the U.S. Army Air Corps called for proposals for an interceptor capable of flying 360 miles-per-hour and climbing rapidly to high altitudes. Kelly Johnson, designer at Lockheed—then a small company without major prior military contracts—calculated only a twin-engine fighter could meet such parameters. |

I took my 69 Z to an autograph signing for Reggie Jackson. Big car guy. I dropped the keys on the table, pointed to it outside, and said “Reggie, go take it for a ride!”. He looked at the car and said “Burnished Brown, my favorite. I’ve got a COPO In that color, I love it!” “But, I’m a little busy, maybe another time”. There were about 500 people standing on line waiting for his autograph. Then I had him sign my Reggie tattoo of him hitting his 3rd home run in game 6 of the 77 World Series off Charlie Hough. I told him I was going to have his signature tattooed on, he said I was nuts!

Those stars were a loose part, assembled at the plant, and were prime material to end up on toolboxes and lockers throughout the plant. Evidently the misappropriation of these stars got to be such an issue that the Plant Manager issued an edict: anyone caught with one of these stars on their locker or toolbox or lunchpail would be fired on the spot. One morning, on his way back and in the pouring rain (...naturally...) the PM gets a flat tire. So now he's out, in the pouring rain, using the old wobbly bumper jack, etc, trying to change this tire. Needless to say he was not in a very good mood. As he was struggling there the local paper boy comes rolling up on his Schwinn. Seeing this nice new model Pontiac and this distinguished gentlemen cussing and fussing trying to change the tire the young boy offers his services and asks "...do you work at the Pontiac plant?". Without looking up the PM answers affirmatively. "My dad works at that plant" the kid volunteers, and the PM turns to find.......the kid's bike is entirely...completely...utterly... covered with these "Star Chief" stars. "Rrrreeaaalllllyyy...." he says, slowly, through gritted teeth, with all the civility he can muster: "...what's your Dad's name?" (lol) As it turns out, the Dad didn't get fired as promised - but he certainly did get a stern, lengthy talking to in the PM's office later that day.... |
