Yes.

I didn't have any still photos of that car so I commissioned Eric to make a "hero card" based on old home movies and my recollection of the various features.

Since this is a Royal Pontiac thread I'll go off on a bit of a tangent -

I was honored to be invited to the inaugural MCACN event to participate in a display of "significant" Royal prepped cars. Bill Schultz was there with the RAV car and Tenney had the C&D '64, as well as a Beswick '68 and the Thom McAn giveaway car.

I don't usually do indoor shows I don't have a lot of display material. I asked Bill and Tenney if they were going to do a big display and they said "naw - just bring the car".

So I show up and Tenney has got Scott Tiemann polishing his car so much that there is white dust in the air; Bill brought a whole wall of newspaper clippings and magazine articles.

I had nothing. I ran back to the hotel and typed up an 8.5"x11" white sheet of paper with some information on it, and I had the big GTO book for the authors to sign so I set that on the hood open to the right page.

You can see Bill's "wall of fame" here:

One of my favorite quotes was a report back on this website. The author said: "whoa - they had this display of Royal cars! They had the C&D '64, and a Beswick car, and a Thom McAn giveaway, and the Ram Air V!!"

...

















... "oh - and a black '65".

I was traveling down Main St in Royal Oak (Livernois in other Detroit area 'burbs) and thought I would check in on the remodel.

Here is what it looks like now:





Neither building kept the old 400 N Main address. The Salon is 418 N Main and the other building is 485 N Main.

Time marches on.

Except for that house. That old house never changes.

Very nice! You were wise to get that done. I have some of his work that I'm currently having framed.

Thank you; Eric had Paul Deesen frame mine...
