And I see some 6 figure Pontiac sometimes on E-bay, no expense spared restorations, and sitting on top of that perfectly restored engine is a $3 Buick style air cleaner decal. I have nothing against the decal itself, to each his own, but it makes you wonder how much research went into other parts of the restoration, or how much knowledge the restorer had of Pontiacs, when that decal ends up on the air cleaner.
