Question MY 3 SONS '65
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?

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.
