Vintage Pontiac Pics

How I spent my summer vacation:

I think I have mentioned this before but interesting how the rear axel or at least the axel tubes are black but the backing plates are natural.

Great pics Keith!

The 1968 GTO was a classic, and from what I understood in Jim Wangers book, the ad was only used for one month before it was pulled for "promoting street racing".

The original photo was retouched, the vinyl top was removed, a pole was moved a tad to get it off the front bumper, and a passenger was added. What's weird is that in the retouched photo, it doesn't appear as if anyone is driving! But in reality, the driver is hunched over the steering wheel, looking to the left, waiting for...a street race. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

This is a really cool photo, notice the blackout on the tail pipe, the red body color overspray on the underside of the body, color of the leaf springs, backing plates, how dirty the new rear chrome bumper appears to be, etc.

Are these GM assembly line photos available on the web anywhere?

Jake (and all), I'll start a thread of assembly line photos, and maybe between Keith an I, we can clear out our libraries. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

LOL - I think I may have gotten all my vintage Pontiac assembly photos (and videos) from you....

Scored this beauty new from Mr. Wangers. He repo'd it on his 85th. Always wondered why it was monochromatic w/milked windows - turns out it was used in the '66 big car TV campaign ...

Funny that is not a Firebird in front of it....

Here's one of the 1964 Fremont plant pics. Notice the Olds in front, the Buick having the body lowered, and a Pontiac chassis up next.
