Default Pontiac will be represented in the 2018 Auto Value calendar!
I just got an email today informing me that my 1969 Judge clone will be featured in the 2018 Auto Value calendar! There were 12 vehicles selected from entries in Wisconsin, Upper Michigan, Minnesota, North & South Dakota and Montana. I was quite surprised and honored to have my car selected!

Im not sure which shot they used, but here are the photos that I submitted:

Congrats from here too Craig.

How many calendars across this land do you see with a Pontiac in it..... any model and any year? Not many at all. I's still love to see a calendar of Pontiacs from the PY group.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate the nice comments!

Like may others here, the relationship with this car has truly been love/hate. It was a rocky road to this point. This makes all the time/money/heartbreak/frustration/blood and sweat worth the effort. Of course, driving it helps too!

Cool! A Poncho! They didn't relegate you to March, did they? I see Auto Value are in Glendive (east side of MT), I didn't recognize them from NW MT here.... I like the regional inland NW thing though......

I'm not sure what month I will be representing, but out of curiosity, what is special about March?

I got my calendar in the mail yesterday and they gave me April. There was another car selected from my town as well for the June spot. An absolutely stunning 1969 Camaro SS 396.

Thank you, and thanks for noticing the headlight doors! I can't begin to tell you how many hours I have into that hideaway assembly to get it aligned and working correctly. I forgot to mention, they used the third photo from the left in my opening post for the calendar.
