Ran across this picture from October 1954 Motor Life Magazine. Yeah, I know it is a Ford, but the first Pontiac V8 had just rolled off the assembly line. Thought Jack Gifford (and others) might get a kick out of it.

I spy a nice Coupe in the background. I have a picture of me and my Uncle at Indy Nationals with his 1963 "slingshot dragster". I'll have to dig up the photo and post it.
