Some footnotes:

In 1909, Woodward Ave, between 6 Mile and 7 Mile Roads in Wayne County, was the first concrete road ever built in America.

In 1919, the first 3-color, 4-way traffic light in the nation was installed at the corner of Woodward Ave and Michigan Ave.

And here's a few vintage pics! The year and description are part of the pic.

The 1967 pic showing the kids protesting the "No Cruising" law is my favorite.

The second picture is great- '55 and '57 Pontiacs cruisin' past a "dead" '57 Chevy on the median!

Great photos.

Wow a 50s flashback. I bet you'd love to still have that 57 Pontiac Kiddie car. I haven't seen one of those for ages.

[1969GTO]

Back in the old days in a snow state a person would need a car for the winter[winter rat] and his nice car for the summer months.
GTO's were a plenty then.......who knew right?
The red Goat is my first.....a 1968,3spd stick,buckets,hideaways,400 4 barrel.
The Liberty Blue 69 is my 2nd GTO, 400-2barrel,auto on the colum,split bench,white inter,hidaways.
I paid $500 for the 68 and $300 for the 69.
All running and ready to go........those were the days

Respectfully - IIRC those "eyebrows" above the headlights were used on 55 & 56's, yes?
No worries IMO still cool Pontiac history in any scale

x2 on the winter rat & those were the days of daily driver "throw away" muscle aka: super cars!
Vintage white stripe on your '68 reminds me of a Red '70 w white stripes in a Rockford Files episode...was driven by the "bad guys" of course.

[1969GTO]

the blue 69 even had Cragers and a dog bone tread desine on the tires, I forget the tire name brand.
I don't know why theprevous owner painted the nose white, a shark look????

Thanks for the memories grew up in that area, Susie Q was my favorite place.

Tires were MT (Micky Thompson) as I had a pair also.

BTW, it is a '56 pedal car. Grill and suspenders on hood.

In 1977-78 ????
That was the time (Aug 77) I bought my first car, and I settled for a '66 Bel Air for $400. I would have peddled my bike from west Michigan to NY to buy a GTO that cheap if I knew where they could be found.

in 76-78 the muscle cars were a plenty,there was even a guy that drove his Aqua blue 68 rag top GTO all season long,just put snow tires on it in the NY winters.
His car was fast [at the time] headers and a Crane Fireball cam. )

We drove our '68 GTO year round (through 1973).

No reason not to - it was our family car.

I actually started a thread on that car a few weeks ago. It was on the cover or Muscle Car Review last month.

My 1969 Corvette 427-400HP with the fractory tripower 4 speed, fastest car I ever drove 142MPH on Goodyear Speedway bias tire (before I went to the TA Radials). Check out the Nixon for Pres sticker.
