Thumbs up Vintage Photo of 65 GTO getting Royal

My good friend (Option 382) wrote to Royal Pontiac back in 1965 requesting information on the Bobcat package and he received this photo along with other literature. A note states the men in the photo are from C-T Automotive in North Hollywood, Ca.

Awesome pic showing a box with ACE WILSON ROYAL on it.

Note the absence of the hood pad. Maybe getting ready for the pan. Also has Power Brakes.

The GTO getting the "Royal Treatment" may be Fremont built because of the unpainted data plate but is set-up with a breather oil fill cap which would possibly point to an out of California sale?

Great picture. Kind of funny to see a shiny shoe guy hobnobbing with the working boys.
