Nice!  I had the mustang pegged, but not the others!

Are we sure that Pontiac isn't a Buick Century/Regal?

I believe that Pontiac backup lights were in the center of the taillights. This appears to have them at the inside edges like I believe Buicks did.

Could not this car be a late 72?  If so would that answer your code questions?

Actually he's not dressed that bad.  Believe me I saw a lot worse back in the 70s.  Just look at Austin Powers!   :rofl: Groovy baby, Groovy!

I think its cool to see an old pic like that. I think it is WAY cooler that a member was actually there when the pic was snapped. It is odd the way an old pic can bring back sights, sounds and even smells to the memory. Thats what I like about listening to early to mid 70's top 40 stuff, it never fails to bring back great memories when you have not heard a particular song in a long time.
