50th Anniversary of the Goat!

  This past Saturday morning I headed back out to the Automobile Driving Museum, as they were hosting a car show for the 50th anniversary of the GTO. It turned out to be a perfect sunny southern California day. As we pulled up and looked for a place to park, I noticed a great turn out of cars on the lot. We were motioned to park on the far lot just south of the Hot Rod/Car Craft garage where we found what I feel to be a couple of the hidden gems from the show. There was the Yellow GTO I had seen before at the Downtown El Segundo car show last year, and that beautiful blue GTO in front of the red Garage.
  Apparently I just noticed after going thru all the pictures I had taken, I gravitated towards the '67 and earlier models. There was also a couple of non GTO's at the show including the Hurst Oldsmobile, the Chevy Nomad, and '70 Chevelle that was actually the cover car from OPG's 2014 parts catalog. I hope you guys enjoy these pictures!

A Son's Great Gift

  This morning as I was heading to make one of my deliveries at work. I noticed this clean GTO parked across the street from my stop, and a couple of guys checking it out. I was running early, so I decided to head over and talk to them about the car. I also wanted to invite them to the Automobile Driving Museum's Tribute show for the 50th Anniversary of the Pontiac GTO this weekend.
  After talking to them for a couple of minutes i came to find out one of the guys there, Adam had just got the car back from a 1 year restoration, and it was a gift to his dad Steve (who was the other guy there) for his '65th B-Day. Who unfortunately will not be here to bring the GTO to the anniversary show this weekend, which would've been pretty cool with his new baby. Although i know he will be having a blast driving this beauty up to San Fransisco, then having the car shipped home to Canada where he's from.
  I was honored to have been able to meet them at this time, and enjoy seeing such a great gift be given from Son to Father.
