Dan Gurney, Checkered Flag.
Amazing guy & amazing life. Winner in Indy Cars, Stock cars, Sports cars, F1 cars..
Car builder, inventor. He will be forever remembered as the guy who shook the Champagne & sprayed it on the crowd after winning with Foyt at LeMans. A life well lived. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Gurney

...makes me wonder if PMD picked certain Head Casting numbers in respects to certain racers, like "48" for Gurney.

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.
