Re: Vintage picture thread

I was trying to keep it "truck" related, but if cars are fair game I'll throw a few more in.

Here are a few from my growing up years:

Me, with my first car (...the red one...):



The Pontiac shown is a '63 Catalina; built as a Super Duty car, it was built with the aluminum front package (hood, fenders, bumper) and aluminum decklid. Sadly, this is the only still photo I have of this car.

Goin' racin' -



The '64 shown above was the first GTO in the twelves, at least here locally.


Our '64 on display at the Michigan State Fair, fall of 1964:



Typical Sunday afternoon:



Rain on raceday - Lapeer International Dragway, 1968:



Me, doing my first engine teardown (a '69 GMC straight six), while the GTO sleeps behind me:



Goin' racin again:



The '64 Lemans was a factory mule car, purchased from the GM Milford Proving Ground. It came equipped with a 421 cubic inch engine (and close ratio 4 speed) and was actually quicker than our '64 GTO race car.


Lastly, this is not a "vintage" shot, but it is a "vintage motif". Here's how the GTO looks today:
