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.

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.

Yes, The M/T Pontiac script is now gone. Back then to us Pontiac people that was blasphemy. Think of it turning a Pontiac into a Mopar. About equal to a sex change!!!

A early shot when it was a REAL Pontiac;
