So sorry to hear of your father's passing. My dad got me into the Pontiac hobby and we lost him two years ago.

Praying for strength and comfort for you and your family and friends.

My Dad is the beginning reason for my car interest. He had a Skelly station in a small Eastern Iowa town in the 60's. I hung out there. Went to a car show in late 60's. All I remember was seeing the Spirit of America land speed car, and a Corvette. Everything on the Vette was either chrome plated or a nice color of dark blue...
I Thank the Good Lord, every day for my Dad's great health and well being. He is 88 and in great health, travels all over by himself. He drives better than I do...LOL, always has. He grew up on a farm, lost his Dad when he was 12, so the workload fell on him. He drove a 2-1/2 ton truck in Korea in 1952 and 53.

Sorry for your loss, my sincere condolences.

The Firebird at the funeral was definitely sent there by divine intervention, no coincidence.

Prayers sent to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss. My Dad helped me buy my first GTO, a 68 4speed convertible. He passed away two months after his 90th birthday in 2016.

Sorry to hear about your Dad. The Firebird showing up in the parking lot gave me goosebumps.

Condolences and prayers sent your way. Remember all those cool stories, as time moves on, and their sure to put a smile on your face. Your Dad lived through some of the best days of Pontiacs' history and I'm sure he was proud to have been a part of it.

looking back at it, the one in the parking lot was also a 74 with small rear window
