I have one of those Open House pamphlets of the Fremont Plant that’s full of Factory photos and text.

I wasn’t able to find my old thread during a search.
Possibly too old in the archives?

Anyway, here are a few from that 1964 Open House.

That's what I was thinking of.

I can probably find the original thread, as I seem to come across it on occasion.

Keith, my buddy was in Kingston last month and informed me Carl Papke died back in October. I first met Carl in the late 80's buying parts from him. He had a few 64's back then. He also made a small book for swap meets with all Pontiac casting numbers I called my bible. He was a character! Last time I saw him was Norwalk 2019.

I am sorry to hear that.

None of us are getting any younger. It is hard for me to think that all the "old" guys I looked up to when I started are probably no longer around.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
