My love for Big Pontiacs began in the late 60's when my Dad introduced me to his 1963 Nocturne Blue Grand Prix. I loved that car and the time with my Dad. This site is dedicated not only to my efforts restoring two Big B-Body Pontiacs, but also to the friends, family, folks, and journey along the way. Like most things in life, this Blog takes some tangents into whatever stuff I think is interesting at the time--automobile related, of course.

Free Beach Boys Concert
Have to give all sorts of credit to those who came up with the idea of providing free admission to the Waukesha County Fair, if you entered into the Car Show on the grounds. The Car Show yielded at least 100 cars, including the beautiful '57 Pontiac Star Chief above. Better yet, that admission allowed you to see the Beach Boys for free! While Mike Love appeared to be lip syncing, it didn't seem to matter to the crowd as he and the younger band went through the set list (actual list above) of great tunes. Really a wonderful time, and the price was right!
