Had to laugh when I saw this photo -

"Jungle" is wearing a "Chuck Poole's Chuckwagon" T shirt.

That's kind of an unwritten rule among the guys I hang out with. Rather than wearing a T shirt with our own name or graphics we wear shirt's emblazoned with our buddies' (or competitors) cars and logos.

Cool, it looks like that car was sponsored by Larry Hopkins Pontiac. They were in Sunnyvale CA for a long time. I served my apprenticeship next door at the Lincoln Mercury Dealer.

Actually the one car Jim referred to was a hardtop and the cat got upset when they closed the doors with the widows up, then the cat preceded to shred the entire interior.

Yes, I know what you mean. That car and body style still seem new to me.

That show car could have been a soft window car. Porsche had a soft window production Targa in those years.
