That is one straight looking '69. Restored or original?

As far as I can tell the only way to get white pin (3/8") is to buy the Wide-O-oval. From what I can see all the other non radials are 1" plus at coker and jobber radials are all 3/4". Seems like the radial redline style tires are not offered in white 3/8"

Thanks, I have it one year. I bought it from a board member here who acquired it a few years ago from the original owner. The car is in great condition with minimal paint work from original. The last registration prior was 1982. A plus is documents from day 1.

The weekend of Musclepalooza coming back from dinner in historic Old Chatham. I enjoy that area, it's like time stands still.

I took this picture awhile ago, shifting is fun but there's something great about standing on the pedal of a hot automatic car at the strip and letting the slicks do there thing. It's almost spring!

Thanks for the heads-up on the tire links guys. Even my wife's daily driver BMW X3 has white-walls. :--)

Slow day at work so I Google Mapped the addresses of the original dealers of my cars. Interesting to see the current lay of the land, some are long gone with no sign of a dealer, a few are still there (not Pontiac of course and others are different businesses but probably the original buildings.

The first one is Superior Pontiac in San Antonio, building is gone but its an overflow lot still owned by Superior (now Buick GMC and misc oriental lines)

Second one is for my LeMans from what is now a very seedy looking part of Birmingham Alabama. Newer building on the lot, clearly not a dealer building.

My GTO hardtop came from this dealer which is the only one still existing at the same location.

The next two were dealers only a few miles apart in West Los Angeles area. The first one is kind of neat even though its now a strip mall since the developer saved the original sign. I'm surprised the granola crunching crowd hasn't raised a stink about the sign!

Second one is now part of Sony Pictures land, forested.

The only Easter dealer is south of Buffalo in a small town called Springville. Building is probably original but still selling internal combustion!

Speaking of granola the second picture is a dealer called Central in Seattle. Neat architecture typical of 20's-30's urban dealers. check out the rainbow crosswalks! Who knew it took so much paint to go green and "inclusive"!!

The dealership in Medford Oregon is long gone but they are still selling cars in this small town lot.

The second pic must of been a small dealer going by the size of the lot but across the street is a big now shuttered steel mill in a suburb of St Louis.

Lastly are two rural dealers, first is in Eastern Colorado farm country, looks like the original building. Then in a very small town on the border of South Dakota and Minnesota this dealer still operates under the same name as on the PHS but now is just a gas station. Family of the original owner told me that they operated back then as a Pontiac dealer in the same building you see there, no showroom, just a sign and 2 or 3 new cars on the lot.

cool idea of locating and viewing the current buildings/lots where the original pontiac dealers once were. a side-by-side - original dealer and current circmstance - would be a great visual comparison.

The San Antonio dealer was well known for having a 25 foot tall shirtless Indian! I heard the Indian was moved and its at a nearby muffler shop.
