I'll never forget the loud cheers that erupted when the wheels of our "Freedom Bird" touched the pavement in Seattle. Best part is there were no protesters. August 1970.

When I returned (from Germany, not 'Nam) in 1967, I didn't dare be in uniform- too many eggs being thrown at uniformed troops by draft-dodgers.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
