Bada Bing - I'd also like to find a source of classic pictures on the web, but no luck so far... Most of the pictures that I've posted have come from different books that I have.

Here are a couple of postcards that I recently picked up on eBay:

Check what appears to be ~'58~'59 'Vette parked in the driveway of the dealership pic above. Guess he's going to trade in on a new GTO or Firebird 400.
The pic below is supposedly of Boomershine Pontiac in downtown Atlanta. That's where my car was originally sold. There's a '68 'Bird behind the group on the left side of the pic.

Yes they are...
I would say that the engine is almost near meltdown.
I would love to see the gauges on that panel board.
Lets just take a guess at beyond REDLINE

Okay, a little off topic, but this is such a cool pic I couldn't resist posting... 69 Judge in Pontiac showroom. The guys around the car are wearing 69 Judge promo jackets.
