This picture was taken in about 1950. It is me on my Dad's 1948 Aerial Square Four. We lived in Van Nuys, and at the time there was a chicken ranch across the street.

Too cool, OMT.

My neighbor Dave worked at a 'bikeshop' back in the mid 60's. He had an 'Ariel' square 4. also before that a 'weezer'(spell). Drove a 500 cc single Harley to school.

Hey Steve- where'd you get the strange ad for a '55 GMC sedan delivery?

Wow. As much as I've wanted to, I've never seen one "in the flesh". As a "grownup" did you ever get to ride one?

Only as a passenger. The first bike that I rode myself was a 1955 BSA Road Rocket (650cc). However, I did a lot of riding on the pillion seat. I was the passenger in hill climbing events and field event competition. That was in addition to the street trips we took. All that I remember about the Ariel Square Four was that the rear cylinder ran hot.

By the time I was old enough to ride/drive my Dad was getting new motorcycles at least ever other year. I took the BSA when he got his '57 Sportster. He had quite a few other bikes after the Ariel.

The sides of the chevy bow tie are angled in the wrong direction?

EDIT:

Vallerie Peirine (sp)?

[Greg Reid]

It's Angie Dickinson.
What I see wrong with the pic is that the Chevy seems to be ahead.

I guess no one saw what I saw as unusual. It is the color of the GTO. It appears to be Verduro Green. I've never seen a 67 GTO factory painted that color. Didn't that color come out in '68 for all models? I thought it may have been a Firebird only color in '67, not sure.
Has anyone even seen a factory painted '67 GTO that color?

[R68GTO]

I recall seeing an article about a 67 GTO that had been built as Verdero Green. They had all the legit docs.

Other than what has been pointed out on the Chevelle, the only thing I see wrong with the photo is... the GTO hasn't passed it yet. Had to be a Chevy guy who took the photo, and he had to make sure he got the photo before the Chevy lost.

[muscle_collector]

maybe it is the light, but that doesnt look like vedero green to me

My friend owns this car. It's for sale.

This is really weird. From an original 1969 magazine, here's a 1969 Baldwin-Motion Corvette with a Pontiac hood tach. They changed the faceplate, upped the redline, and changed the Pontiac script.



As for wrong wheels on a Chevrolet, here's a better example. From a 1968 GM 4-page ad showing all the 1968 GM muscle cars, this is the photo they used for the 1968 Chevelle SS396.



Don Yenko (Yenko Chevrolet) loved the Pontiac Rally II wheel, so much so that he used them on his 1968 427 Camaro conversion cars.
