That was a given!
Here's the updated pole. It's looks like The tower shot is going to take it by a nudge over the Profile shot. I spoke to the PPG calendar production representative today and The Tower shot is his pick too.

I'm torn between B and D.
I really like D but theres a lot going on in the background, it almost takes away from Adrian, but looks killer. I really like B because its pure and simple. Plus the lines of a 70-73 bird look killer from the side looking dead on. I think D wins it for me. D, B, A, C

My take on why I didn't like B better than D, is these "shadows" that show up on all RH shots. My eyes just keep fixating on it.

Since these two shots were clear winners, I went ahead and spent a little more time on them. Clocked the tires on the wall shot and turned the lights The Tower shot.
The PPG producer likes the Tower shot. With the lights on, the red center caps really pop and the red street lights really give the picture added dynamic. It's nice knowing one of our coveted early second gen's will be represented in next year's calendar. Thank you everyone for your voting and feedback.

PHOTOS
those were the ones I liked..even if I did not vote I still win...you can never go wrong with a side shot of a 1970 to 73 T/A...very aerodynamic...and the tail shot reminds me of a pic from a 1970 TIREBIRD brochure...I wonder what month will be ADRIANS?..I will leave it turned to that page all year!!

Greg I have just caught up on the recent outings of Adrian. Thanks for sharing her with the world. Simply awesome and awe-inspiring.
In the pics at the unveiling is a white car cover...where did you get yours? I have not seen another. |

Hi Dave, unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll be able to attend the TA Nat's this year. It's very disappointing, but my work schedule has me traveling the same week as the show

Regarding the car cover, Bentwheelbob had originally found these on Ebay. Someone had a lot of them and were selling them at the BIN price of $80 I think. Maybe 10 or so were sold before he ran out. The one I have is getting some use as I recently lent it out for Tim Dye's (Pontiac Oakland Museum) '70 GTO Judge unveiling in late June. Pretty cool. When you finish your '72 Lucy TA 4-speed console delete with 8-track we'll make sure it is properly unveiled! Here's Tim's unveiling:

Congrats Greg!
Triplets now? Hoarding all the uber-rare blue 72's huh? We're all jealous, but know they are in good hands. Its amazing how similar they both sound..... Mechanical music. Awesome, just awesome. |

Not quite triplets...
I am very proud to share that Adrian will be going to the American Muscle Car Museum in Melbourne Florida. It will be open Spring 2016. Adrian was so tight, there was virtually nothing left to fluff on her. I wanted to start a new project here at home while Muscle Car Memories Restorations starts on the 'Sister' '72 TA Lucy/White up in Lincoln NE. The 'new' car is familiar on these forums. It's a 38,000 mile original paint unrestored Lucy/Black Custom cloth interior automatic TA. Art Conservation is definitely a different approach and I've always been a study of the original aspects/tendencies of these early TA's, so this project should be a lot of fun. Here's a link to the thread that I will be tracking the progress on: http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...80#post5448180 I'll keep this thread posted when the Museum opens and Adrian finds her spot on the show floor!

Will Adrian be on loan to the museum or have you sold her?
