That's great. Do you get in there often Keith?

I'm sure I'm not alone in being somewhat envious of that .

Keith took Patti and me past there last year on his "Abandoned Factory Tour" but of course we couldn't get inside the building.

Excellent video and walk down memory lane for me...remember a lot of those when they were the "state-of-the-art" and I was a kid going to the races then.

These "Vintage videos" are also worth the view IMO

The vehicles are vintage but I believe the photos themselves also vintage, I believe photos are from 1954, suspect these were issued when GM
celebrated their 50 millionth

Also interesting to learn that first Pontiac was designated by GM to represent the 5 millionth

Great pic! Can never have enough SCCA racing!

Here's a shot of Rich McDaniel's Firebird getting roughed up by George Follmer's Mustang. It appears George Follmer is trying to
pass on the inside going into the turn, he's up on the curb, and McDaniel locks up the brakes of his Firebird.

Inspired by the post above from "aukc", check out my vintage tags, eight decades worth. I put them up in my shop last week. The earliest (bottom left) was issued in 1915. I bet these would have some stories if they could talk.

Old Australian B Model Mack and van...late 60's maybe? Looks like a Pontiac front on the tiger.
