    Had the privilege of meeting and getting to know that young man's step-grandfather about a decade before his passing. Kind man and tremendous design talent.

    Thank you Howard for sharing. Began my service career at the local Pontiac dealership in 1972. Worked for the same family for 6 years and became Service Manager in 1978. The Pontiacs of the 60's, 70's, and through the early 80's are still so much a part of my life and memories.

      Glad you enjoyed the video. A number of friends folks worked in Pontiac, at one or more of the many assembly plants. One friend was third generation at Truck & Bus. He's retired now.

    One of my favourite cars is a 1965 Pontiac Parisienne. Dad had a 65 Laurention wagon when I was a kid.

      They sure are a neat looking car in my mind too, plus a wagon, I love it!

      I like the 65's. The 60 Catalina I had was an amazing driving car!

    That museum will be nice when it's finished. Thanks for bringing us along. I see you have the fender off the CB500.

      Yep, I took it off to see about a used one off a local parts bike. His was too small. They're expensive new and hard to find used, in useable condition. Might try and bump it out in the next few day. Getting the engine paint ready at the moment.

    "We Build Excitement!" Wide Track around Pontiac during Dream Cruise is lots more fun than Woodward through the lower areas. Pontiac folks are really having a party. Down the road they are all in chairs, watching.

    Hello Howard, Thanks for taking us along. Many interesting vehicles to see.
    Too bad the lighting wasnt better for your video. Take Care, Clint

      They're still rewiring the building. It's just in its beginning stages. I think in time it will make a great space for a museum.

      Yeah if I had all my past cars and motorcycles I would be a millionaire! Who would have known back then what no one wanted anymore at the time, would sell for the crazy prices of today's market.

    My Dad had a 1964 Laurentian 6 cylinders with PS, PB and 3 on the tree. Sure beat his 1962 Austin Cambridge Countryman.
