Started when I came home from the military in '64. Wanted one then, but went through a '64 Corvair Monza convertible, and a '66 Buick Special.
But, was solidified when I was watching TV one night in '67.
Watched a 30 second commercial with a GTO featured going through it's paces with only the sound of the car for 25 seconds. The last 5 seconds were of it coming up over a rise at speed and freezing the frame of it about a foot in the air.
Then the voice says "GTO, get one before you're too old to enjoy it!"
Found and bought the one I still have within the next week. Never regretted that decision. Sure wish I could find a copy of that commercial.........
