Ace Wilson's Royal Pontiac
I own a 64 GTO that was purchased new at Royal Pontiac in Royal Oak, MI. The original owner was meticulous and saved much of the original paperwork including the protecto-plate, service records and this attached letter to the original owner from Ace Wilson that I thought the Pontiac community would enjoy.
I believe the original owner relocated to California in 1967 and wrote their salesman at Royal Pontiac with concerns about the oil that the new CA dealer's service department was using. (Some things never change.)
I love the response in the letter that Pete Estes told Ace..."that we knew more about the Pontiac automobile in the quarter mile than his entire staff. In other words, what we don't know about the GTO engines is not worth knowing."
A nice piece of Royal Pontiac history.
