Default Christmas Time. Or, I love my dad

I got my Xmas box from my dad today. Some in the NW may know him as Jack Corley. He goes to all the swap meets in the NW and has an Antique auto parts business. Now I would be remiss if I said that we always got along but time heals most things.

So today the gifts were new ignition switches for both tilt and non tilt 71-77. A new stoplight switch and a new headlight switch. These are of course NOS made in America items and will fit the GTO and TA.

He still at 77 humps 1000lbs of parts to the swap meets almost every weekend. He is also easy to spot. Short still wearing his Marine flat top in a blue overcoat. I am not sure how many more years he will keep at it so if ya see him at one of the Oregon or Washington swap meets say hi.

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas and that I love my dad.

Cool Dads are hard to beat. For some, like myself, our Dads have passed away and the memories are all we have left. It's nice to hear you guys are getting along. NEVER TAKE YOUR FATHER FOR GRANTED! You never know when it will be your last Christmas together. Cherish the good times, and Merry Christmas!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
