Don, Smoke Signals has always been my favorite Pontiac mag. Perhaps because it includes ads for cars and parts. But usually interesting content too. I subscribed to and still have every issue of GTO/Pontiac Enthusiast, it was very good especially in the beginning. I have subscribed to HPP off and on over the years. I get The Legend too. But Smokes the one I will read first.
I would applaud putting the '74 story in Smokes. I would also suggest, if it could be arranged, run the rest of them too, maybe in reverse order. Surely lots of folks getting Smokes did not subscribe to HPP. If HPP is kaput, perhaps the publisher would grant permission?
I also like the idea of bolstering the content in Smokes.
And finally, the time is ripe to go after HPP subscribers who aren't POCI members to induce them to join if for no other reason than to get Smokes. Especially if you can add some content that is being lost by the demise of HPP. Just a thought.
PS - Got my HPP yesterday, great story Bill. And sharp GTO. Love the old car wash pic you posted too.
