I like the top one, and black is good for me. Hotter but less likely to be ruined like most of my white t-shirts

Just another old fart in a Corvette.
 

So this is idea 1 that I put together. Have 2 more ideas I want to get down then we can get together to see which one we like best and can pass on to an actual graphic designer [emoji4] 

Didn't know I was allowed to the word "boobs" on this forum. It has two meanings, and some guys get offended when it pertains to them.

Great work, Rick... Red Rocket is one of the finest '67 GTOs out there! Will you be entering it in any Pontiac shows this year?

 

 

Thanks Pat, lots of opportunities this year. for car shows. POCI is at Texas Motor Speedway in July, and will most likely participate in the DAPA show at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum again. Then there are the every Saturday breakfast club meetings and monthly car shows. I decided not to participate in the Dallas Autorama this year, but planning to next February. Thanks for the compliments. Hope all is well with you.

I say... Let it run slow,  the cars NOT aging as fast then, right?

I've been waiting to tear down my GTO for paint.  $$$ issues.  Will be doing the same when putting it back together.  Alot of work, but so worth it.

Good luck with the repaint and the financing for it.

Hello Pat, welcome to FP and the Pontiac family.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Got a lot of house things for my new house but nothing car fun

 

Bummer, no sealed garage floor?

Didn't mean to sound unappreciative for RIngo's work to coordinate all of this, just offering feedback for what I perceived as actions by the new calendar vendor. As mentioned earlier, we just need to know the rules so we can take them into consideration while taking the pictures. My daughter is a professional graphics artist and could have taken care of the changes required for my picture had we known. No one would have been able to tell she made any changes. 

Got my calendar yesterday as a Christmas gift from my wife and have to say I was very disappointed in the changes made to my picture. It seems that all the "branding" was removed via Photoshop or some similar tool. The GTO emblem in the grille was replaced with a rough white line, The Pontiac arrowhead was removed from the hood and the tire brand was smeared on the right front tire. While I appreciate the license plate being removed, the front bumper looks mangled now.  I noticed other pictures updated as well.

C&Ks GTO - Removed GTO in the grille and cropped the rear of the car.

Diana George KyDon - Removed "Firebird" from the right front fender.

wtjosaas - Removed "Firebird" from the left front fender.

FredZeppelin - Removed white letters from tires, at least for the last picture I saw of his car.

Those are the issues I observed.

Just need to know what is acceptable and what is not so we can take appropriate pictures going forward.

Looking forward to hearing about your garage floor seal if Santa brings it. Probably not too exciting to most folks, but I asked for new DOOR & QUARTER REVEALS for the GTO. This is the anodized aluminum trim on top of the door and rear quarter along the bottom of the windows. Also getting new rubber/felt seals.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Welcome to FP!

Sorry to see that JUSTA6 and FredZepplin couldn't both be in the calendar. Both are great looking cars.

Welcome to FP from another Texas based Pontiac guy.

Welcome to FP from another Texas based Pontiac guy. I'm kinda partial to red 67 GTOs as you might guess.

 

Welcome to FP. Great looking GP.

Great pictures Pat, thanks for sharing them along with your memories. Glad you are staying active on FP where Pontiacs and Friends are Forever. 

Our car last attended the Pontiac Southern Nationals in 2001 with the previous owner. We attended PSN for the first time yesterday and received the gold award for the best original 65-67 GTO. The event was held at the Cavanaugh Flight Museum in Addison Texas and hosted by Dallas Area Pontiac Association. The event was very well organized and a lot of fun to see the cars and planes. We parked next to a C-7 Caribou and one of the original crew members gave us a tour of it. It's always an honor to meet a veteran who has served to protect the freedom we enjoy. I hope it's okay to post pictures of military planes on the site.

I forgot to mention that the triple black 68 GTO convertible at the show could be a distant cousin to Stratman's 68 GTO. Not as nice, but the right color.

Thanks Frosty, there's always room for one more!!

Thanks Darrel, the Grand Prix looked great as usual at the show.

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations. The best part is being around other Pontiac enthusiasts.
