I don't think there were ever nicer looking 4 doors made than the '65-'66 Big Pontiacs. The non-post versions are hard to tell from a 2 door at a distance with the windows down. Now THAT is styling.

Heh heh heh.... That's good. Yes Bruce, you are indeed quite right. Gotta be a pillarless car. Pillared cars look like old taxi's. Terrible things.

Over here up till '65 that's all we got - 4 door pillared cars. Well there were some odd pillarless but usually they were a special import. Very rare (and expensive!!)

Well, I'm off tomorrow in my beige "arsehole" on a long road trip. I'm on holidays and we are taking the Grand Prix on a 3500 mile trip up into the far west of New South Wales to a town called Broken Hill and thereabouts. I've never been there before so I'm quite looking forward to it. VERY DESOLATE country in parts. If any of you saw the movie "Mad Max" it's where it was filmed. (I think the movie might have been called "The Road Warrior" when it was released in the USA. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Changed the plugs, leads, oil, filters etc etc and she is running faultlessly. But I'd like to talk with the guy who decided to put the A/C compressor over plug number 2. What a bummer to get it out. Old plug lead had welded itself onto the plug. I had to remove the compressor out of the way so I could get to it.

I have a mate and his wife coming in his 1979 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham D'Elegance. VERY nice car for a road trip. It's only got 28 thousand miles up from new too so this should blow some cobwebs out of it.

I'll post some pictures when we get back.
