My '68 GTO hardtop
white makes its debut on this web site, finally. Note the lack of a
"GTO" sticker on the rear quarter. Those had been removed in order to buy
and install some fresh ones at the swap meet. The wing is not correct for
a '68 car, but I think these '69 wings look spectacular on '68 cars as
well. On the way to the show we had a flat tire. We were only 3 miles from
home -poof- flat tire. Found a BOSCH spark plug had punctured right through
the tread and was stuck in the tire. Luckily we had a spare tire ON a Cragar
that matched the others. Thunderstorms were rumbling nearby as I hurriedly
got the tire changed. Didn't get wet. No big deal. We laughed about the
episode and continued on our way!
AT THE MOVIES...
We made a cruise from the host hotel to the local drive-in movie place
to see "Gone In 60 Seconds".
This was the Kingman Drive-In, Delaware Ohio.

Adults on the playground
snapped pictures of the many cars while standing on top of the slide. Later,
the movie staff brought out a ladder so the many photographers could get
a good view of the GTOs spread out across the drive-in lot.

to begin. The movie was a hit with the crowd.
I give it at least 4 stars. It would earn a 5th star if there were some
GTOs in it.

'68 GTO convt belonging to John Jump was

Sneaking around #2
the projectionist keeps an eye on things through this window. Since he
stands up a lot, he's got some very squishy carpet to stand on here.

| Here's an update on "THE MOVIES" added 12 Aug 2001.
I got a note that says:
From bsginier@columbus.rr.com I live in Columbus Ohio and stopped by the 2000 GTOAA show and really enjoyed myself. It was nice to see photos from that show on your web site. The reason for my writing, the Drive-In the show attendees visited in 2000 is to be torn down end of this season. My wife and I take our three girls there often and had the demolition rumor confirmed by one of their employees. What a sad day for Columbus, tract-homes in place of our drive-in. Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I thought I'd mention it. Well, I'm not a GTO owner (yet), but hope to be someday.

If you have some interesting snapshots of the show, email them to me.
Or U.S. Mail them to me. I can return photos after scanning them. Just
ask.
