I have no idea about the pickup truck. I was hoping someone here could shed some light on it.

It looks like a 1950-54 GMC pickup with a Pontiac hood ornament. If I'm not mistaken, they put some Pontiac engines in GMC during those years-

Odd to see it without a vent window, though-

Default Judge Banner

This is Bob Neil Pontiac in High Point, NC. You can see what appears to be a Judge banner in the window and possibly a 69 Judge sitting outside.

Does anyone have a better picture of this Judge banner?

Thanks, Mike. I knew that I had seen these but could not find them in a search. I found this picture of Bob Neil Pontiac in, of all places, the "Remember When in High Point" on facebook. Someone posted this picture but had no idea about The Judge banner/car in the picture.

Definitely something up with the airbrushing in that area.

The Chevy truck is a 1947 thru 1950. There are no vent windows on these. In 1951 the vent windows were present.

On review, that Sedan Delivery looks to be a '50 Pontiac. I'm no expert on early post-war stuff. But the rear fender chrome trim and front bumper look like pix I see of '50 Pontiacs.

The 8 lugs look good on the 66 GTO.

Here's a photo from the video showing the 66 GTO with the 8 Lug wheels. Looks great. But thanks to John Delorean and Kelsey Hayes fighting over them it never happened, even tho they're shown in the 66 model brochure for the GTO and LeMans.

Default Grumpy's Toy & Strip Blazer..

Found these in shop yesterday...
I got them back in 2003 at the Muscle Car Madness show in PA.
My car was on the showroom so I was allowed in a few hours before they opened up to public to clean up car. Had a few talks with Malcolm & Grumpy. Also had chance to talk to Ronnie Sox before he passed on (RIP). Joe Jaconno is a funny man ..and Fred Bears twin brother I think..
Hope these pics come through...
For some reason I can only do one to a post...WTF is with that ??
