[Dr. Eric M. Schiffer]

Parked with the Royal Pontiac Club. We had Tom Goad, Trans Am Group Retiree. Tom was hired by John Delorean before his departure to Chevrolet. Tom thought up and made sure the 1989 Turbo T/A was built.

Ben Harrison PMD Product Development retiree. Ben is responsible for saving and bringing you the 1969 Grand Prix. He also pushed through the 1977 Can Am.

Brian Ballish was also with us at Fresard but left before I got a picture of him.

John "Cheater" Politzer was with me at Duggan's on Tuesday. John is the one seated with my wife giving him rabbit ears. He had to go out east for a wedding on Dream Cruise weekend. John called me at 7:30AM as I was driving down Woodward I our way to Fresard. John was hoping his fight would be cancelled when he got there. It was not to happen. You can see the back panel of the Blackbird to the right, behind the wall.

The guy on the cell phone is Larry Cohen. In 1970 Larry had a all white Ram Air IV Judge with it's enigne redone by Brian Ballish at Royal Automotive. Larry had an aftermarket Mark IV air conditioner installed in the car when it was new. Sold it in Chicago when he traded it in for a new 1971 Monte Carlo SS 454. Larry had left Detroit to work for Whirlpool as an engineer. He quit within a year and came back to Detroit and became a sucessful builder.

Larry also once owned the 1965 GTO white convertible with the very first publicly released Hurst wheels. It was the Hurst Give-A- Way car at the Motor Trend Riverside 500. Larry sold it at auction to Colin Comer a few years ago.
