I remember when John Z. was GM of PMD and sat in several Zone Meetings, etc. when John was in the Zone for Dealer Meetings. He was the most knowledgeable GM during my 20 years with PMD. I even had the opportunity to drive his 1968 Firebird Ram Air II Co. Car while I was at the old Central Office for training. The Security Guard in the Corporate Garage saw me driving my 68 Firebird Ram Air II Co. Car and asked if I would like to drive John's car. Took it for a short spin on Telegraph Rd.. It was an automatic and mine was a close ratio 4 speed and ran better IMO.
Lots of great memories from the past. So many of the Old Pontiac Guard are gone, but never forgotten.

It is posts like this that keep their memory alive. Thanks for sharing some cool stories from one of the great Pontiac Dealerships of the 60s and 70s. Jim
