I thought this was a cool photo. The crew of Apollo 12 received new 1969 Corvette 427's, leased to them for $1 for a year by a dealership, in co-operation with GM. The dealership was associated with Smokey Yunick years earlier, so they wore the Smokey gold/black paint scheme.
Astronauts were : Pete Conrad, Dick Gordon and Al Bean. Every NASA astronaut drove a new Corvette back in the day, and took advantage of their status with the ladies. Only exception was John Glenn, who drove a Hillman Minx.

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.
