I found this shot of what I believe is a Canadian 1967 Laurentian Safari Police car. I believe Como Hudson is a suburb of Montreal.

Stumbled onto this photo of the La Vinta 70 GTO Show Car. I think this is only the fifth colour shot I've seen of it.

The 'Reception' photo gives the appearance that the receptionist is sitting in a pot of soup. There even appears to be a gas flame underneath.

- How many "Stutz Blackhawk" Grand Prix"s are now coveted? IIRC - they were a big $$$ "celebrity" custom that didn't necessarily age well.  - Zoom in & Check out the custom white trunk striping on the GTO which is a Pre-Special Edition T/A invoking style IMO by using the dual trunk center to full width above the taillights theme. - Appears The Judge "eyebrow" stripes are non-reflective?  |

The Design lobby was recently remodeled and restored to its 1955 configuration. Many of the areas of the Tech Center, like Harley Earl's office, are designated historic sites and cannot be remodeled. Mr Earl's office looks just like it did when he left it, even though it is now in use by GM VP Ed Wellburn. K

Keith - any chance that "Jim Wangers - Pontiac 'Bobcat'" article could be scanned and posted? From that "Speed and Custom" August (year?)...

This is the La Vinta show car photo, cleaned up. Definitely had a pearl paint job. I wonder whatever became of this car?

A couple observations/comments:
a) The car pictured in the article is one of the few to receive the Bobcat appearance package for '63. I believe this one is Silverleaf Green, ours was Nocturne Blue and there was at a minimum a third car (a red one, maybe?). Highlights included silver around the grille opening, silver around the decklid and silver above and below the side spear. Body color inside the aluminum wheels was also part of the package. These updates were done in the paint booth at Royal.  b) Mr Wangers loves/loved those spinner caps. Dad was not a fan and managed to keep them off our car. c) If you look carefully you can see one of the appearance package cars in the background of this shot (by Mr Wangers' left hand).  K

I have a lot of production line pics on my site too. http://www.musclecarfilms.com/Pontiac_Production.html
Check out this photo, which I blew up. The pit guy isn't even wearing a helmet, just fashionable hat! I also wonder what that elbow pipe is next to him? Looks like an exhaust elbow, but perhaps a fuel filler?

Maybe it's some kind of fabricated tool for making something easier. Much like the 'pilot rod' he's using apparently to guide the body down over the body bolt holes in the frame. Notice the pile of body bolts/bushings. Great pic.
It does look like a fuel neck on the exposed end though. Tail pipe I think is visible in from the the passengers side worker's apron at the knee.

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.
