50 Years Ago
Fifty years ago today my '64 GTO was delivered to me at A. E. England Pontiac in Hollywood. Unfortunately I didn't own a camera so I have no pictures of it.

Great milestone.
Great car. Congratulations on keeping her this long with the shiny side up, as many of us know this car has seen its share of street and track racing at some very high speeds. |

A big congrats and "Way to Go" Jim. That's a very rare thing in the automotive circles. You never had to say--"wished I had that one back".
P.S. Are you coming to Pontiac Heaven this year?? The new venue (track) is outstanding. Mark

Congrats OMT! Your ownership of the GTO has outlasted many marriages (that's a sad fact, but owning the GTO that long is quite an accomplishment). Give it a Birthday romp through the gears for me!!
Dave

Congratulations, OMT!! Isn't it great to have something from that long ago--something that's really NEAT today??
If we had only known, we'd have bought a camera and taken a whole lot of pictures! At least you have some movies from the drag strip back in the day.

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.
