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.

Salentine All Pontiac Car Show
Spent the morning with my son checking out the Salentine All Pontiac Car Show (which took the torch from the departed Foster Pontiac) put on by the local GTO Club. Naturally, the Show was dominated by some spectacular GTO's and, to a lesser extent, Firebirds. Nice showing of late model GTO's, too. (But don't get me started on GM's decision to shutter the Pontiac brand). Nonetheless, there were some very nice Darksiders including a survivor '59 Catalina Wagon, two '61 Venturas (one of which was a 425A 4-Speed Tri-Power), a '62 Bonneville, a beautiful '64 Gulfstream Aqua Catalina (which should look like the little sister of my Bonneville whenever it gets back from paint), and a '65 2+2. Surprisingly, no '63's--some day, I kept thinking.

Song to Drive To
Just because it's still summer and a great time to drive, loved this: Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside

Last Pile-Up
In an email recently received, it sounds like this year's 10th Annual Hunnert Car Pile Up ( http://www.hunnertcarpileup.com/ ), just a couple of months away, will be the last. Hats off to the volunteerism and dedication to this event by all involved over the last 10 years.
