'68s still had 7' rallys. They didn't go to 8" until 69. That car is a '68. It has the push button on the door to open it, another unique '68 only feature.

Interesting, learn something new everyday. I didnt even notice the push button on the door until you mentioned it

This was sitting in a tire store parking lot last year. I took the pic because it looked like the one my dad had when I was a kid.

That didn't sound right to me, so - as is my custom - I checked the '68 Corvette info packet in the GM Heritage Center archive...

http://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs...t-Corvette.pdf

...and...

You were right. So I stand corrected

At any rate I knew about the pushbutton on the door, so I'm batting .500. (If I was playing for the Tigers I'd be a hero) -

I went to my machinist buddy's shop today. Found these two sitting in the lot outside. In all the years I have been going there I don't think I have ever seen a Pontiac other than mine there!

Had to go with the sun to get a Pic, of I would have done better.

Arrow Houston we have a Green GTO!

OK, so not so much "Parking Lot" but more "Super Slab" Paparazzi!

Caught a few quick pics of this unique colored GTO driving on The Southwest Frwy (Highway 59) heading north toward the 610 loop the other day.

The hood scoops also had the white striping on their tops. Anyone here know this car or owner?
