This photo of my 1968 GTO convertible was taken about 1969. You will note the racing mirrors that I had Packer Pontiac (Detroit) install, color matched. There were some other trick things like the Bobcatting from Royal Pontiac was long done and installed. Photo resolution is not clear here, but if you look really close you can see the hood tach too. Color was Mayfair Maize with red pinstripes. Brake drums were painted red and I had Royal install red fender liners from 1967. It had a very striking look to the car with the redline tires. Notice the Royal Pontiac license plate frame.

I used to hold court sitting at Ted's Drive-In restaurant that once stood at North Woodward Avenue and Square Lake Road. It was the ultimate of all the Woodward Avenue drive-ins and got so popular with cruisers and street racers that they began charging a fee just to get into the parking lot!
