Hey go easy on Pontiac !

My first car ever in 1964 was a 55 Pontiac . 6 cylinder 4 door - dark blue paint with one green fender. Three on the tree. Boy was it ugly !

Paid $25 for it ( from the breadman - he bought a newer one).

Drove it for 1 year and sold it for $125.

Three weeks after the kid bought it from me he jumped a curb and tore the rear end out of it (axles, pod and springs came out in one piece along with some floor).

Now that's the highest % profit I ever made on a car.

That's a sad tale of the first and last Pontiac I ever owned.

I had a '49 Pontiac called 'Captain America'.
Use your imagination as to how I customized it.
