Vintage Pontiac Pics

[grantprix]

Those photos were emailed to me from a good friend of mine who knows an older gentleman that worked for Pontiac and actually worked setting up for the different shows back then. He has some really cool items that he saved from back then.

I have an original one of those Judge jacket order forms, I've thought about having some quality copies made of it.

Thanks for posting the photos, those are great!

Awesome pictures Grant, they really are. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

I have tons of vintage Oldsmobile and Buick photos too. We may have to start a thread in the other section(s).

Some more from 1969:

1) Another shot of the yellow 1969 Firebird from the same Detroit Auto Show.

2 &amp; 3) Two photos of the Royal Racing Team's 1969 Firebird. Note that this was not Royal Pontiac anymore, it was &quot;Leader Engineering&quot;. Leader Automotive was owned by George DeLorean (John Z's brother). After Royal Pontiac decided to get away from the high perf conversions business and focus on regular Pontiac sales, chief mechanic Milt Schornack left Royal Pontiac, and hooked up with Leader Automotive. Milt was allowed to keep the Royal trademark though, as he was responsible for the Royal Pontiac Racing Club. Ace Wilson Jr. of Royal Pontiac had no interest in the Bobcat conversions after Jim Wangers left to work for George Hurst.

3) An original Judge jacket, still in the package.

Oh and by the way, the photo you posted with the new Judge jacket just happens to be from my same friend that I got the auto show photos from. That photo was from his ebay auction and that jacket also came from his same friend that worked for Pontiac. Small world! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Here is a picture of my dad in front of our 1970 Pontiac Catalina.

Great photo! Was that a camp site?

That '63 Gran Prix was sweet.

Anyone have pics of some '64 GTO's?

Those '65's are very nice, but the '64's have an understated mean look to them as well.

This is the only pic i have of a 64. It was a mean car.

Don, that 65 is WAY cool! A rare post coupe too! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Mark, the 64 GTO's were back on page 1 of this thread, but I'll post some more....
