Looks like the GTO is wearing Impala SS hubcaps.

This vintage photo makes you wonder how they actually DID wash cars back then. I thought this was one of the most bizarre photos I've ever seen. Bet they got a lot of stalled cars in this tub, considering the automotive electrical systems back then were quite exposed.

That's a good way to tighten up the artillery (wooden) wheels.

In regards to that shot of the GP car going down the road...i saw that on the HAMB site and many pages later read the story behind it. 1960 (?) US GP...apparently the pits were not completed, or up to scratch, so the GP teams rented workshops in the nearby town and had the O.K. from the local Police Department to drive the race cars to the track!! Fact or fiction? I don't know, but it is a top photo.

I'm upto about page 260 out of 600+ pages on that HAMB site...so many great shots there.

Here is one of mine... 1938 Australian Pontiac "Sloper" ad.

I can tell you EXACTLY what the Grand Prix car is doing.

"Here Maurice Trintignant, on Highway I-15 heading south coming out of Riverside on his way to the track in a Cooper-Maserati. Maurice finished 15th in the race." - Along For The Ride

They were granted special compensation by the Governor of California because Riverside was incomplete at the time and they didn't have garage facilities or something along those lines.

COOL, huh!
