One vendor was celebrating the 40th anniversary of "The Judge" with a huge display of Judge memorabilia. Many of the items in this collection, I had never seen before. This display is from the Pontiac Vintage Press & Library. CLICK->
There were several display cases on a table with Judge literature. Even a vintage Judge jacket and order form. CLICK->
I made four photos just to get all the items into view. Check out the old 45 record. It looks like a Rally II wheel. CLICK->
Here's the fourth photo. CLICK->
There was an impressive display of Judge memorabilia put together by The Pontiac Vintage Press & Library. Here, UltimateGTO.com staffer Wade Stokes is admiring one of several commemorative posters. CLICK->
This vintage dealership poster is a knockout. First time I've seen one of these close-up. Now I want one for my garage. This thing is probably priceless. That's Wade Stokes on the left. He has a Pontiac arrowhead tattoo. That's Sean Mattingly on the right, blocking your view of a really great comemmorative Judge poster with a red car on it. CLICK->
This is the car that Pontiac used in their brochures and print advertising for the 1970 GTO. It was on display, along with some of the printed materials. CLICK->
This handsome car is red with a red interior. CLICK->
In this shot, I was trying to duplicate the angle seen in the next photograph, in the print ad. CLICK->
This is a portion of the display board that was in front of the 1970 "brochure" car. CLICK->
One day at the Nats, we headed off to the Kil-Kare Dragway for some racing fun. The day's activities included drag racing, an autocross, a burnout contest and more. This GTO owner stands beside his car in the staging lanes. CLICK->
This is a familiar sight. Arnie "The Farmer" Beswick's mechanic John Holmes waves. He's being towed, returning the car to the pits after a fast run. CLICK->
The car passes by, door open to let in some air. Check out that red '66 on the right, you'll see it do a wheelie later. CLICK->
A slick '64 GTO is dragging with another Pontiac. CLICK->
Time stands still. Another one of Arnie's masterful creations, looking like it was just built yesterday.
Here's a comment from a recent visitor...
Says Dennis McGee (mcgeed.@fhfb.gov) - "I just love these "Lazarus sites", you know, bringin' the old cars back from the dead."
