Hello and welcome, Pontiac Guy. I'm glad to see a local guy here. I'm a little north of you in Keller but I have a Roanoke mailing address. There's a long, boring explanation for that situation that I won't go into.

We all have had cars that we wish we had never sold. One of mine was a big '51 Chieftain Club Coupe. with a flathead straight eight. Stock as a stove. It was a dark sort of metallic gray with a sun shield (or visor or whatever you want to call it) and the required chrome stripes down the center of the hood and trunk and that lighted up Indian head hood ornament. I thought it was the classiest ride in the world.

A girlfriend at the time told me she that it was gauche, whatever that means. I don't think it was a compliment.

I also had a big 1929 Pontiac coupe. It had an interesting engine; An inline six with two heads on it with the distributor sticking straight up between the heads. I had to give it away when I got a big patriotic urge to go into the navy (that means I was about to be drafted).

Well, I didn't intend to get windy in a "Welcome Aboard" note but you gotta bear with us Geezers when we do things like that, but before I shut up I want to say that that is a beautiful '64.
