I have been following a guy on You Tube, name of channel is Chief Classics. He mostly searches out old Pontiacs, He revives them, gets them running, passes them. His stuff is pretty good.
An way, he has a couple of 60 Pontiacs at the moment, one is a convertible, other is a bubble top. The 1960 Pontiacs are growing on me!!! Praying for comfort and strength!!! Seems like info about him (from here) had not been positive. Maybe someone has a picture of his 60, and could add it here. Thanks!!!

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.
