Few more -



















"Sharknose"?







Oh! And this one is from our very own CityDesk:

I didn't see a Pontiac in the "Vets For Peace " picture, just a Mustang an Olds and Ford wagon.
One picture you posted was a great one for me to see ( I attached it here). In the background is A. E. England Pontiac. That is where I ordered and picked up my '64 GTO. I ordered it in late January and got it delivered March 28. I believe the address was 6161 Hollywood Blvd.

Great pictures!

Great pictures!

I may have mis-identified the maroon car, OMT. I thought it was a '59 (?) Pontiac.

I also think the black car in the Ford Used car lot is an Olds, too, but I left it in there.

In the Ford used car lot I see a '60 Pontiac convertible. In the picture below the black car is a 60-ish T-Bird, like the one to the left of the Pontiac convertible in the picture above. I don't mean to nitpick, but it was fun looking for the Pontiac's in each picture.

Wow.love all the pics,even without pontiacs in them they would be great.I like checking out all the surroundings,buildings,signs.The 'motor court' or 'travel lodge' pics are cool.Newer buildings just aren't much to look at,just like newer cars they lack their own personalities.I take more pics please.

There's a reason they call the good old days the good old days. Excuse me but those photos are so cool, I'll have to turn off the house a/c!

Keith - Great Thread!!! I wasn't the brightest in school, but when it came to history = A+. I love anything old, except women LOL. Here are a few I've saved.

Couple of observations:
Believe the Stick City dealership shown is featured in a history of the Beach
Boys video that has Carl Wilson showing up at the dealership and looking at a couple of cool cars including a Safari wagon with air bags and a "4 speed, dual quad, etc. 409."

The very first photo of the nose bleed GTO reminded me of a guy I knew when I was at Univ of Ga, named Brandon Shields. He had a '68 four speed GTO with this same look. Offered to give me and another friend a ride back to dorm one day after class. Pulled out of Pharmacy building parking lot onto street and nailed it. Thing must have been running 4:88 rear end , 'cause he ran through all four gears in about 100 feet!

No prob and no offense, OMT. I admit my ability to pick out earlier than a '60/'61 is pretty suspect! (lol)

I love finding the cars in these pictures, too. That was really what generated the whole thread: the realization of how prevalent these old Pontiacs were in our daily lives back then. Some of these pictures you'll find two or three old Pontiacs in there.

Dennis - thanks for the insights into Springfield Ozarks Dragway and Dave Goldsberry. My parents are from the "bootheel", btw

60sstuff - love the little black '64 in your second pic!
