Default Vintage Cammer Pics

I thought there was a thread of Vintage cammer pictures but I could not find one going back 5 pages or with the search bar.

This picture was posted on a station wagon forum I frequent. Looks to be a 66 Sprint Lemans in the back row along with a 67 GTO and a 61 Full Size Pontiac.

That is quite a unique model..it looks like there are vertical lines in the grill. Amazing what a few changes can do to a car. I've never seen these before.

I look at the way he's leaning forward with his arms crossed, casually waiting and figure his thoughts to be something like;
COME ON, COME ON, BLOW you SOB!

I wonder how much hotter than that, does cast iron start to puddle on the floor?

Jeff,

If you still have the vintage photo of an A-Body and F-body, front ends, side-by-side, showing their relative size, I'd like to see that one again. I think they were both 1969.

CR,
The only one that seems to match that is from the 1969 Mailer.

Is it perhaps this one you're referring to?

Yes! That's the one. Thanks Jeff and Mike. For some reason I like that picture. I've been looking for about a month. Thanks again!
