Steve Ames got the hobby going before Casperson and Spotts, and MAYBE Kirban.

I meet Steve in 1988 at Carlisle. Great guy with a tone of Pontiac knowledge. We all have many stories of how he helped us out. I was finishing up my 70 GTO and asked him if he had saddle carpet at Carlisle. Told me to follow him over the ACC vendor got my carpet from them and sold it to me for his price. Just one of many things Steve has done for a lot of us.
So get well my friend get strong and see you at Carlisle.

He is part owner of this site now so prayers sent to him and his family.
I’ll keep this a sticky so it doesn’t get lost down the page.

Apparently Steve fell, hit his head, had an internal brain bleed, had surgery, and now is in a coma.
This is per an email from Marge Sawruk dated yesterday afternoon. K

Get well soon Steve. I hope he recovers. We're all pullin for ya.
BTW... as I heard years ago, from talking to him, he had sold Ames Performance and was only making restoration parts to sell. I was trying to get him to make the parking light lenses for 66 and 67 GTOs in amber.

Terrible news.
We will hope the coma is one that was medically induced, to allow healing. Get well Steve! Jon

Prayers being sent, hope he pulls through.
My brother fell while roller skating a couple years ago and was in the hospital for 3 months. Other than losing his job to Covid, he's doing OK now.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
