I wonder if a Pontiac engine would fit under that hood.

Cool Ouch!

Ouch!
From a posting on the West Virginia Heritage, History, and Memories Facebook site a couple years ago, a commenter asked:
“Is that a Ford Edsel?”

(He was immediately corrected.)

Here are a few personal pics

First two are of my Dad's '65 Tempest Wagon, circa 1971. My '65 GTO originally came with the same "wagon wheel" wheel covers. This car was totaled in Camp Hill, Pa in late '72 or early '73. Luckily my Dad was relatively unscathed. My Dad's '64 Comet convertible is in the background..

Second pic is our late '60's Catalina wagon that replaced the Tempest wagon. And I was very proud of my rainbow trout. Traded this car in on a new Pinto wagon during the gas crunch in '74. The Pinto probably got even worse gas mileage than the Catalina.

Last pic is my '69 Goat and my brother's '68 398 Charger, around 1988.

Should have said "no - it's a T Bird".


(ie, lower left).

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

Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
