In the 60s on the US cars- I saw the plastic tail lights had the year of the car molded into the lens cover. It seems that the year may nave been the prior year so you had to add a year to get the year of the car it was on? Anyone remember that?

Of course in no time I didn't need to look at tail lights, I could tell every US made auto at a glance.

As you may have heard, it is the end of Pontiac Motor Division as of today.

Although all you GOAT lovers and Firebird lovers just gainedin equity as well as Oaklands, Star Chiefs, and so many other great cars, I lament the passing of the cars that brought "excitement".
My wife's 2007 G6 mechanical hardtop/convertible is great fun to drive.
Will it reappear as a Chevy product next year??

Ricky 4 Camaros, and 1 Firebird, with a strong desire for one more before I die. Biggest regret-not keeping them all.

This is not about cars, per se, but about the people who protect us so that we can enjoy our wonderful hobby and all our leisure time!

I want to thank Tom (tvrpman) for his post a few days ago, and add this story, which I'm sure - since many of you are veterans - you will appreciate:

There's a flap going on in San Diego about a wartime mural at the Veterans Hospital which was moved from the main lobby to somewhere where almost no one will see it. The veterans are NOT happy! I think this letter, which was written to the San Diego Union newspaper, sums it all up. (See first reply.)

I saw this group somewhere, some profile page, and doing what I normally do, just followed the links. I don't actually own an old car, well, if you don't count my 91 Suburban, but I love old cars. My daughter, however, has my grandmother's 1965 Grand Prix, which she and her hubby are in the process of restoring. My grandmother managed to bang it up a bit. :) The inside is all original interior, still almost like new. She is a beauty. They had the motor freshened, and we took her out last weekend for the first car show of the season. She is still in the unfinished class, but since the hot rod club was sponsoring the show in Mason City, Iowa, the GP wasn't entered, just a host car. Last year she took two awards in the unfinished class. I'm telling you, look out car world when this baby is finished. She's a beaut. They found the build sheets under the seats, still have the original papers from when my grandmother ordered her back in the day.





This last picture is my grandmother with her 'baby' back in about 1970.

Sunshine's our 60 Lark convertible. I gave her a bath yesterday, and then took her picture.

It should be the biggest Pontiac event ever!!

Engine removal from a truck should never be as hard as these guys made it out to be. However, it makes for one of the best (and worst) automotive fails ever caught on camera.

Does anyone know someone that would be interested in buying my Late Husbands, 1923 Ford Model T TurtleBack roadster,he started restoring it,never finished it,needs painting & upholstery,no title,as cant seem to find the title, also a 1926 Ford Model T coupe,is complet car but needs restoring,selling price is $6000. EACH, You can check out photos on website; view link

Last night, for one of the magazines I contribute to, I photographed a stunning, fully restored 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. It was built by the Inland Mopars Car Club for the Alumni Association at the California School for the Deaf in Riverside for their annual fund-raising raffle. It's the third such car the club has built for this very worthy organization.

If you'd like to take a chance and gamble five dollars to park this car in your garage, visit my website Automotive Traveler (http://automotivetraveler.com/jump/549) for complete details, high-res images, an entry form, and instructions on how to enter.

Do you think they are dead or will they return as Chevy badged Miata competitors?
