I'm speechless.

(lol)

On the other end of the spectrum: no reason to post this pic except I thought it was a cool odometer reading.

Took my son Joseph to lunch today for his birthday. I almost let him drive but I enjoy this car so much I decided I'd drive instead.

You'll also note the "speed alarm" needle setting. I like to know if I happen to bump up over 120 mph during my travels.

Wow Keith...I just found this thread and read through the whole thing ...way cool and lucky you. Thanks for sharing your stories.

Great story Gary & well told although I was expecting a Ferris Bueller moment in there.

[Keith Seymore]

LOL - that was my first thought, too.

Thanks for posting, Gary. That will probably be me some day.

I met Al Rodgers while he was in town doing the story on the Phil Bonner Thunderbolt. He is a character!

Great story and write up; will look for the print version in Muscle Car Review.

Looks like photobucket finally caught up with me;

I have gone back through the thread and modified all the links so that the photos now appear again (...usually).

If you happen to see a black box try refreshing your view and normally that will bring the picture back.

Since I can't seem to add this to my photo album I'm going to stick it here for future reference.

It's hard to say from a black & white photo but this could be our '63 sitting behind Royal.

Some defining features:

Silver on the front header panels, surrounding the grilles
Silver paint around the body side trim
Body colored wheels
Standard (non remote) mirror
Royal sticker on the sail panel

Man! Does this thing ride good with 200 lbs of weight in the trunk!!

(lol)

Loving our "Indian Autumn": 50 degrees here, with blue skies and dry roads. I've been driving the wheels off the GP this fall and will continue to do so for as long as I can.

Hey Keith, do you know a Michelle Peters? Worked at the Pontiac plant. Seems really nice and shades some stories from when she worked there.

I do not; I'll keep my eyes open at the various events around here.

Thanks,

Another thread reminded me that I took some pictures during my summer vacation that I never got around to posting -

This is from Ludington, Michigan and is the original location of Stevenson Motor Sales, which is the agency my Grand Prix was sold through.

It is a small swap meet/flea market now.

Continuing to sneak up on getting a "new" Grand Prix;



and - taking this as an excuse to post a nice previously unpublished photo from lunch break at the Woodward Dream Cruise.

[muscle_collector]

[Keith Seymore]

Snagged a few pics at the Pontiac Transportation Museum while cooling off on Friday during the Dream Cruise weekend:

Finally get to see part of the book. Nice coverage of your car. Duncan stayed at my house twice while researching the book. Probably put on 100 miles driving him around Chicago. Still waiting for my free promo copy of the book.

She has some cool posts on Facebook worked at the Pontiac plant late 50's to 70's. A few other people she worked with also post. She is interviewed in the big little GTO book.
