The attention to detail is amazing.



Here's the '63 SD wagon in real life:

I tried to get a brick from the building when it was being tore down. Sad when it went.

Smokey Yunick and Fireball Roberts are two early Pontiac legends.

63 tempest/lemans wagons must have the lowest survival rate of any Pontiac from the 60's.
I can't recall having ever seen one in my area.
Not on the streets or in junkyards.

That looks like two quarts going in - no draining required.

Also looks like Smokey has the torch going, pre-heating the oil so it flows in faster.

BeemerGary has a nice '61 wagon.

I don't think it's ever had anything loaded in the back from the looks of it.

Can tell he is trying to look non-chalante while heating the can.
And thick gloves to handle those hot rascals into the engine.

That is a very cool/hot picture under closer scrutiny.

Can you give us the Readers Digest condensed version of how the conversation went?

Burd,

At the GTOAA convention in Atlanta in 1991( i think )Jim Wangers brought two bricks he said were from the old Royal dealership building to place in the silent auction. He mentions this in his book Glory Days. I was able to acquire one of these bricks and to get him to autograph it for me. It sits in a plastic case in a special spot in my garage/man cave.
