The All Pontiac & GMC Truck day is today in Tucson! If you are anywhere near the area, please stop in and say "hello". Thom and others have put a lot of work into this and it is important to support their efforts. The weather looks wonderful and it will be a good time.

Photos from the ALL PONTIAC & GMC TRUCK DAY 2104 event are now online at the following site: http://www.tucsonmotorama.com/APD14pix/Slideshow.htm

IMPORTANT NOTE: the is a self-advancing slide show. If you have a DSL or slower connection, please allow the entire show to "pre-load" (which could take several minutes for slow connections) and it will begin playing on its own.

Highlights on display that day included:

Steve Disch's "Ultimate GTO" (a 2006 GTO outfitted to look like a '64 GTO ragtop)
Thom Sherwood's "'xXx' GTO Flame Car" (the actual screen-used 1967 roofless GTO [yes...with 400 Pontiac cubes under the hood1], from Vin Diesel's 2002 secret agent film 'xXx')
"The Wedge" (a transaxle Tempest-based creation built by retired GM Engineer John Harlow)
The 1938 Yellow Coach "Warren-Bisbee #8" Bus, as restored by the Old Pueblo Trolley Co. (Yes... There is a family connection to GM and Yellow Coach in Pontiac, MI) Too COOL!

There were a total of 76 Pontiacs and GMCs on display, rangling from 1938-2008. The local chapter (Arizona Chapter POCI #29) signed-up a whopping 14 new members! ...Too cool!

There was an awesome 17-vehicle caravan from the Phoenix area, with thanks to members of the Desert Renegades Chapter #65 POCI and the Cactus GTOs of Phoenix. Way to go, guys, and thanks for the support!

Be sure to check the TucsonMotorama.com (http://www.tucsonmotorama.com) website for updates to additional happenings of interest to GM owners in Arizona, expecially the two upcoming Pontiac events in Phoenix... The B-O-P Show and the Pontiac Heaven Weekend coming in April, 2015. Check 'em out!
