Here's a photo from the video showing the 66 GTO with the 8 Lug wheels. Looks great. But thanks to John Delorean and Kelsey Hayes fighting over them it never happened, even tho they're shown in the 66 model brochure for the GTO and LeMans.

There was GTO Jr, and then there was Big Brother.

1964 GTO was supposed to have disc brakes, Radial tires, and later ( 1966 ) those eight lug wheels. Ed Cole killed all of that. The Tiger theme was killed by corporate as well as Tri-Power ( on Pontiac models and Olds 442 ) by Cole.
Very interesting how Cole's beloved Corvette and Corvair were allowed to keep multiple carburetion. Nice guy.

Default Who is this beautiful young lady?
Can you tell me who this beautiful young lady is? I have stood on this very spot and possibly been in that silo! From, MailOnline - news, sport, celebrity, science and health stories.

P.S. For Big bonus points if you can tell me what that missile is protecting I'll... be amazed. I know but can you figure it out? She was very famous and anyone my age (49) or older will remember her. That's the only hint you get.

Default Straights Area Antique Car Show
This was at St. Ignace, MI 1984. It was the first time I met Jim Wangers. In the photo he's holding a copy of the 1967 "Pontiac High Performance Brochure" that I had just given him. Page 297 of his book "Glory Days" discusses being at this show. He doesn't mention me in the chapter, but my '72 is pictured at the top of the same page in a shot of the 1984 GTOAA Convention (left lower corner of the photo). Note: How come I still remember all this? I don't even remember what I had for breakfast.

My dad worked in the SAGE underground complex in North Bay CA in early 60's.
Unfortunately for some reason, was not allowed to take pictures of his "office"

The girl of my dreams riding on a Nike missile. Her name means nothing.... I'm in love cause she's one tough woman to do that.

Not Sharon Tate. But she used to be second on my list. LOL
