Was actually a great car, just enough go, easy to take care of, pretty good mileage. I plowed it into a light pole my senior year of HS

If I could have any car back ... it would be that aqua colored 66 tempest. I'd leave it bone stock and just drive it as much as I could.

Came across a 1967 movie on TCM called "Hillbillys in a Haunted House". A country music trio was driving this dolled up 67 Bonneville.

That little Gem was likely one of the many Pontiac's "customized" by Nudie Cohn for the Country elite.
IIRC the well known Roy Rogers Pontiac went across the block a few years back. Here's one I came across with singer Webb Pierce and his new 1961 conversion.

I believe Kid Rock now owns one of the Nudie customized '63's.

Here are some Nudie Cars (There are other Pontiacs, but I can't find my Pics of them right now). He also did Nudie Suits for tons of country and rock stars in the early 70s. Sorry, but I love this stuff. It seemed so bad at the time, but now I miss it.

Is this a case of car abuse, or child abuse?
 Hopefully, this car wash didn't have one of those horizontal rollers that went over the top of the car too, or those kids are in for a surprise.

This should have been used as an album cover. I'd like to have ridden shotgun with Mr. Mojo snatchin' gears in a 440:

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.
