Ah - yes. I remember. I was down at Greenfield Village for the 90th birthday celebration of the Model T, during a long lunch break. All the news teams were there, and Edsel Ford II was parade marshal. One of my buddies said "Cmon and ride around with us!" I was like "Nah. For sure I would end up on Channel 7 news and I would have my dad, my boss, and my wife asking why I was down at the village today." K

(I realize I'm a day late, but still wanted to chime in.)
Jealous  Isn't this the museum which has the 'low mile' 70 Formula that had a repaint?

/\ the paint was a curiosity that left people questioning the mileage;
Apparently it was getting refurbished early on, and something happened to damaged the paint - so the original owner had it repainted. IIRC it has something like just over 400 miles on it... there 's a whole thread on that car here.

It was a lot of fun. It was great seeing you again Keith. What a cool museum. That would be a fun field trip sometime, museum and lunch or dinner.

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.
