My dad bought a new 1966 GTO from Royal Pontiac in 1966. I was 4 years old and became hooked on Pontiacs then. That dark blue, Mid Watch Blue?, GTO with the Tri power and 4 speed and it was amazing. I remember that grooved console with that dark blue interior. I can still see it. He told me that there were so many GTO's at the GM Tech Center in Warren Michigan that it looked like a Pontiac dealers lot. He worked at GM for almost 50 years. My grandfather taught auto mechanics at Wilbur Wright and later South Lake High School. I have been influenced by them my whole life. It is the reason that I love cars, especially Pontiacs, and have been at GM, both at Milford Proving Grounds and Warren Tech Center since 1986. Happy Fathers Day to you all, I love this forum and the knowledge of all of you. Thank you all.
