2 years today I started his thread and I would like to thank everyone who has contributed since to make it as popular as it has become. Hoping the next 2 will be as interesting as well.

Thanks for starting this thread, Steve!

I think I posted this a LONG time ago, perhaps in this thread, but if not, I thought it was appropriate to put it here.

You could build a rail for $7,000 then... and now it costs $5,000 to make one pass with a Top Fueler, if nothing breaks. Progress?!?!

Ok, so I admit that I did not go through all 100 pages to see if these have already been posted...

"My Three Sons"


"I Dream of Jeannie"


"Bullitt"


"Two-Lane Blacktop"

Interesting;
I found this color shot of that '65 and always wondered what the story was.
GM/Pontiac promo car of sorts ?

I believe so.

Note the Michigan "GM" plate on the car.

Those look too tall to be airship mooring masts. They are more likely military radio transmission towers. Could be an early RADAR array?

My thoughts as well.

Is that Pearl Harbor?

An original pic of a 1968 GTO on the showroom floor. You can just make out the window sticker on the opposite side of the car.

There's a lot to see in this picture of a speed shop. I'm guessing this pic is from the late 1970's, based on the Rocket Racing Wheels and the script used for the Holley Carb banner.

My favorite part? The "Keep On Truckin..." and "Let's Boogie" floor mats.

Awesome! Reminds me of what I'd see walking into a few of my local speed shops in NJ all those years ago

I've burned up a few sets of those Firestone slicks in my day...

I would KILL for a set of Mr Natural floor mats! Anyone else remember Zap Comix? R Crumb?

Notice the quarterpanel decal placement. I think (if I recall correctly) that it's generally accepted practice nowadays that the 'G' should be about one letter's width (give or take a half inch or so) from the marker light.
BTW, My first '68 still had those same hubcaps and whitewall tires when I bought it in '82.
