Pontiac at Pebble Beach
 
January 2018 issue of Hemmings Classic Car covered the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance Aug 20 2017.
The Pontiac Vivant Roadster built by Pontiac Herb Adams won first in the American Dream Car class. Powered by a 370" Pontiac V-8.

Second place in the same class was the 1966 Pontiac Powered Bosley Mark 2 Interstate coupe.

The engine appears to be a 60 389 judging by the intake manifold/water pump housing

Love the Red one ...

So is there no fan on that 389? Or is that a very early use of electric fans?

Sweet ... Pontiac representin !

look at the backwards Alternator!! It does look like a 80's dual electric fan set up..

Quite clever.

I like that Herb Adams car- hadn't seen it before. 8-lugs are a nice "fit".
