really sweet car a real time capsule , would be great to see detailed pics of everything even though I’m a bird person I still like to see any original Pontiac and study things. It’s so rare to find things original and undisturbed I wish more people would post pictures .
I think the location of the lamp was determined by the platform;
A couple years back I pulled some parts off of a painfully original Oshawa built 1970 Lemans Sport (3737) which had a Pontiac (as opposed to the "Canadian"; read: Chevrolet) drivetrain.
One of the parts was the under hood lamp (as well as the door sticker, valve cover fuel requirement label and some other odds and ends).
It was already picked apart when I got there, but everything underhood was there... covered in a layer of bits of straw and mouse turds.

I agree I have the same issues I’d need a big magnifying glass for a book these days lol but the zoom feature is so good on detailed pictures .

Those are good points. But once the presbyopia sets in big screens and magnification really help. So we need both! That's always the best answer, I'll take everything. LOL.
