Love this photo as it shows how most yung 'uns were at cruises, drag strips, and car hangouts back in the day. Everyone knew what a Hemi was, and nothing struck fear into the hearts of owners of lesser vehicles than seeing those 4 famous letters on a vehicle.....

Some interesting pics.



A child car seat from 1957 (yikes!).




1969 proposal for a 1973 pickup.



1969 Skylark being thrown into a turn during a road test.



Another case of Pontiac airbrushing an ad for the Canadian market.

The picture of the Skylark is the reason that my 62 Cat, 69 LeMans, 76 Olds and all my newer cars have Negative Roll Steering. The only exception is my 63 Cat which will be changed when I get around to it. Good thing there was not a video as I bet those poor tires are screaming for mercy! How could they produce such cars, when it is so easy to fix and would not cost any more than they laid out.
