Re: And now for something completely different
Great old pictures here thanks for sharing! The RED/RED 1964 Corvette has quite an interesting history. It was built for the 1964 New York Worlds Fair. Later Alex Maier bought the car as a birthday present for his 16 year old son. The kid kept the car until the late 80's. Later in 2001 Mike Yager bought the 1964 Corvette. Ironically Werner Meier who had failed to buy the Corvette was given the assignment of restoring it at his shop in Michigan. Today it still retains most of the unique features it was built with for the show circuit.

Re: And now for something completely different
------Thanks so much for the great pics. All are interesting, but I find the 64 GTO, the big Poncho convert, Excaliber, and the small-block Cobra convert all very, very cQQl......Bill S

Re: And now for something completely different
These are some really cool pics....thanks...I wonder if that big Pontica show car is the one in the Bortz collection....I remember seeing it many years ago and it was supercharged if I remember correctly...just can't recall the color or model...

Re: And now for something completely different
I think that is the Pontiac 'X 400' show car. There was a story with pictures a few years ago but they said it had been crushed. It seems to have style vents behind the door like a 1963 Buick Riviera. Hood scoops and lettering on the hood to. Notice the black GTO 2dr post in the background. The Pontiacs and the Corvette have 'redline' tires- check the whitewalls! on the choptop dodge. I think these pictures were taken in 1964 and not 1963. Still great to see!

Re: And now for something completely different
The first shots were taken in 1963 - everything from the overall shot showing the Sunbeam Imps for $1495 and down were taken in 1964.
Glad you liked them! |
Re: And now for something completely different
Those pics are way cool. WOW, prices posted also. Now lets take a look at the crowd (or lack of it) and everyone dressed in their Sunday best. Just like the ol' ball games. Times have really changed.

Re: And now for something completely different
Very cool pictures! The pontiacs look awesome. The hood on that red vette reminds me of 67 Impala SS427, with the separate simulated "intercoolers" in the bulge down the center.

Re: And now for something completely different
-------Tarrytown,,,That is actually the fuel-injection plenum jutting up thru the hood. Theres a spacer that extends the height of the stock plenum top. Its awsome to see in person. Of all the Autorama and Worlds Fair cars still left out there this is by far the most original. As stated it can be seen in Mike Yeagers museum.......Bill S

Re: And now for something completely different
Don't you know those two Corvettes had teenage boys drooling all over themselves! I wonder if the silver metallic blue color led to all the tri-fives that were painted that color in the mid to late 60s?

Re: And now for something completely different
Where was that Cut-Away Monte Carlo taken at?
I know they showed it at most of the Annual new carshows back then. I'd love to have that..I tracked it to a business man recently,then lost track of it. |
Re: And now for something completely different
That shot was taken in 1970 at an indoor car show in a Chevy dealers service area. I don't remember the name of the dealer by it was located in Freeport, NY right on Sunrise Hwy. I don't believe it exists anymore.

Re: And now for something completely different
[b] At the time I took these shots I thought these were works of art! They do display a lot of work and craftsmanship but they seem way over the top 35 years later.
