Cool SUNDAY MORNING FLASHBACK

I strated this post on the OHC pages and thought I would bring it over here as well.

OHC featured articles from publications of the past.
Over time I’ve accumulated many magazines that have written articles on Pontiacs OHC engines.

I hope to add to this at least every other Sunday.
The first is the earliest article I’m aware of.

ENJOY!

August 1965 Popular Science;

Jeff hate to say it but Im not quite as organized.
May take me a while to catalog them like you have.
Im guessing that all these listed have a topic of OHC-6?

Jeff, thanks for posting these as most of us do not have a collection like yours and have never seen them. Reading them is awesome to see what was happening at that time about these unique motors.

Well appreciated.

Marc

Never noticed this before but on the article from Motor Trend page 42 at top of page is a GTO/LeMans/Sprint.
It has GTO grille&hood,LeMans fender emblem,Sprint striping and fender emblem. A styling exercise maybe?
