Was aware of this before there would've been a benefit in making anything up. If you worked for Pontiac or their ad agency, it's also where you got your company car. Jim Wangers set this up for Ace.

Don't think Milt arrived at Royal until just after the Car and Driver test?
Milt says in his book that he wasnt allowed to see the motor in the C&D car when it would come in for work. Either Brumfield would shut the hood if Milt would go to talk to him or a sheet/cover would be place over the engine so no prying eyes could see it.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
