Ok - I'm teasin a little bit with that last one; that's actually downtown Pontiac Michigan, looking north on Saginaw Street.

Steam powered Grand Prix; this car still exists and is on display at the GM Heritage Center on occasion:



This car has also been recovered and restored, and is also on display at the Heritage Center:





A couple of "mild customs", on display out front of Bob Longpre Pontiac -

Original magazine ad for the 1966 GTO, shown wearing non-production 8-lug wheels. In response to the media criticism about high-perf cars not being to stop, Pontiac had plans to offer 8-lug wheels on GTO's. But high costs, along with the fact that disc brakes were on the way, killed the proposal, but not before this ad appeared in dozens of magazines.

Yep - last year I was building Cadillac DTS, Buick Lucerne and Chevy Volts all down the same line.
