Smoke Signals Full

December 2004
I am pleased to see that the All American Oakland Chapter of POCI has found new life and is once again moving in a very positive direction. During the last week of October I received volume one number one of what looks to be a wonderful newsletter. Fred Lewis, (newsletter editor), has done a remarkable job capturing the history of Oakland, while including segments from this years convention. The newsletter also includes a classified section with autos and parts for sale. At the Oakland breakfast this year there was an amazing 67 people in attendance. They were able to sign up 13 new members while on their 50 mile tour. Their journey to the Kendrick House, in Carthage, Missouri for breakfast was led by Garth and Irene Millet in their 1910 Oakland followed by two more Oaklands and a caravan of Pontiacs. The president of the AAOC, John Armstrong, who also won Best of Show with his 1926 Oakland, is fired up and looking to build on this event next year. At the Chapter awards banquet on Friday evening, the Oakland group was honored as the Chapter with the largest percentage of members participating in the convention. If you have an Oakland or might consider an investment in one of these timeless treasures, it would be in your best interest to become a part of this group. Their Executive Board combined has more knowledge and hours of hands-on mechanical experience with Oakland than any group that Pontiac could possibly assemble. They also have the resources at their command to restore these antiques from the ground up. If you would like to become a part of this group you can do so by requesting a membership application from John Armstrong, 3520 Hatter Road, Lancaster, Ohio 43130, or by e-mail at jarmst2@columbus.rr.com. Green Mountain Monogram, who is the provider for our Club Store, has decided to discontinue that service at the end of this year. We have enjoyed several years of continued success with Green Mountain and we wish them the best of luck in their future endeavors. POCI is now accepting business resumes and proposals from distributors who would be interested in taking on the role as Club Store for POCI. This would be a three-year proposal. I would like all proposals sent to me (see address below) no later than December 15, 2004 so that we may have the new store in place by January 1st 2005. This change in club vendor should have little or no impact on our membership. There is an abundance of inventory that should carry us through the first quarter of next year if necessary. I look at this change as an opportunity to expand our product line and introduce new and exciting ideas.

POCI CHAPTER SHOW INSURANCE

If your Chapter is planning a show, DO NOT forget to get your insurance certificate. POCI pays the premimum each year (and it isnt cheap!) to help protect your Chapter and its members. Remember, without insurance coverage the deep pockets rule can kick in. That means, if someone is hurt or in some way harmed (yes, including some civil rights situation), they can come after any Chapter member who they believe has lots of money. While you may think that makes you safe because your car hobby keeps you flat busted, why take a chance. REQUEST A CERTIFICATE OF INSURANCE Simply call JC Taylor Insurance at 1-800-272-6784 and ask to have a form sent to you. After filling out the form, send by mail or fax back to JC Taylor and your Chapter show will be covered. This insurance is only available to current POCI Chapters and events that they are hosting or sponsoring.

POCI LIBRARY
The POCI library is a massive collection of Pontiac and Oakland literature, unlike any other anywhere else. It contains valuable technical data (manuals, engineering reports, etc.) and marketing and sales information (brochures, posters, photos, material samples, etc.). All this is available to our members. Obviously, materials cannot be sent all over the country/world, so photocopies are available at a very modest cost. A Processing/Handling Fee of $10.00 must be sent in with your request. A fee of $30.00 per hour (chargeable in units of 10 minutes at $5.00 per unit) is then charged to locate requested information, make the copies, and send them off to you. If you are looking for something like an entire manual or specific color brochures, it would be best to advertise for them in the SMOKE SIGNAL Want Ads. To request information, go to our web site (www.poci.org) and download the forms to send in regular mail, or e-mail them directly to the library. You must have made application to the Members Only section first. If you wish, you can use the forms we printed on previous SMOKE SIGNALS protective covers, or contact the Club Office and a copy will be sent or faxed to you. Remember to keep a master copy so you will always have one for future requests. When the library personnel receive your request, they will research the information, let you know what is available, and then mail you a note about the cost. You can then send a check or money order, or credit card info, and they will make the requested copies and send you your information. You are also welcome to visit the library in person. The POCI library is housed in and administered by the: AACA Library & Research Center 501 West Governor Road P.O. Box 417 Hershey, PA 17033 717-534-2082 Fax: 717-534-9101
COVER CAR
HOW TO
People continue to write and ask how to get their car(s) on the cover of the SMOKE SIGNALS. There are two very simple answers: 1) write a good story of you, your car, and how it all came to be, and 2) shoot good quality photos digital are the best at the largest size you can make. Send all to the address in the front of the magazine or e-mail to the address shown. Which car is chosen? The one that best meets the above requirements. We will try to mix it up a bit too from issue to issue. So, get writing!
POCI 2004 CONVENTION WINNER, JOPLIN, MO

GOLD STOCK Senior Status
In error Steven Kotts beautiful 1963 Catalina two-door hardtop was not shown in the winners photo spread of the October SMOKE SIGNALS. The photo above is Stevens award winning Pontiac. We know how hard he has worked to achieve the status of his car and wish him the recognition he deserves. Steven, of Wayne, Michigan, writes: My Pontiac is a very nice 1963 Marlin Aqua Catalina, 421 H.O. tri-power car with a bucket seat Ventura interior and a 4-speed. Ive owned this beautiful car as long as Ive been a POCI member, 18 years! Congratulations on your fine car!
Souvenir T-Shirts of the FIRST POCI Drag Racing Convention Event
From: Larry Crider Sapulpa, Oklahoma Safe and sound were the feelings felt by all the friends and family members of SPCE-4 Kenneth Crider, as he returned home in mid-August from his adventure in Afghanistan. Kenneth was part of Task Force Phoenix which was stationed near the capitol of Afghanistan, to help the people of Afghanistan build their own national army. Returning home with a State Trooper escort and a heros welcome home, six bus loads of weary, proud men made their way into a glorious reunion with loved ones. Welcoming Kenneth home was his dad, Larry Crider of the Indian Nations Chapter of Oklahoma, his mother, Sandra Rousey of Mannford, his wife Debbie and their 2 children,
and many other family and friends. From the entire Crider family we wish to thank everyone who kept Kenneth in their prayers for his safe return and to remember those who are still over in foreign countrys protecting our freedom. (ED: All of us in POCI are proud of Kenneth and all the other brave men and women of the armed forces who are working so hard to spread the freedoms we all tend to take for granted. Congratulations, Kenneth, of your successful mission and we wish you the best on whatever you do now that you are back home. Any POCI member who has a loved one in the military is invited to send their photo and a small write-up so we may honor then here, and keep them in our thoughts and prayers.)

we are on the verge of having it enacted into law. Another way of phrasing the issue is that legislative life is cyclical and it is important to appreciate the hard work, dedication and victories that come along during the process. Sometimes you dont know when you scored the ultimate victory or just hit a successful milestone in an ongoing battle. Regardless, there are times to applaud the SAN, the support of enthusiasts like yourself and SEMA staff for a job well-done. Mission accomplished for this year. We appreciate your sharing your thoughts with us.
Legislative Quick Hits
LEGISLATION AT A GLANCE
The articles appearing below are care of the Illinois Chapter of POCI, and SEMAs Driving Force magazine. Youll notice that what appears below, is what one might call one success story after another, but as the writer from SEMA commented, legislation is a cyclical thing. This years success can just as easily become next years defeat, if you folks dont keep tabs on whats going on in your States Legislature. tion in the June Driving Force about the Illinois inoperable-vehicle bill, HB 4910. Its not defeated and its not dead! I had the chance to hear State Representative Dan Brady speak. He was the sponsor of this bill. Representative Brady reported that no further action would be undertaken this term, meaning it can resurface in January 2005. He already is working on an amendment to make it more palatable, but he is still behind it. To his credit, he is listening and taking input from constituents that include car clubs. My point is that we cannot pat ourselves on the back just yet. This bill probably will come back. Michael Balogh Dear Mr. Balogh: We can confirm that this bill, HB 4910, is dead for the two-year session of the Illinois legislature that adjourned on May 31, 2004. Nevertheless, you raise another issue the fact that legislation is frequently reintroduced and the battle is reengaged in a future legislative session. One battle may be all that is needed to defeat a measure. Then again, the fight may extend over several sessions. We see this occur frequently with other initiatives, for example, scrappage and emissions-testing bills, in state legislatures and in the U.S. Congress. Each side uses the multi-year strategy to build support or finally give up. For example, we came close to enacting the street rod/custom vehicle legislation in Missouri last year but were stung by the Governors veto (on an unrelated issue). We didnt give up. We made sure it was reintroduced this year and today
California Emissions Exemption: The California Senate Transportation Committee approved legislation that would extend the states current rolling-emissions-test exemption for vehicles 30 years old and older to similarly aged vehicles that are brought into California from out of state. SEMA is supporting this legislation while at the same time seeking to defeat a California Assembly bill that would repeal entirely the 30-year rolling emissions exemption and replace it with a provision requiring the permanent testing of all 1976 and newer model vehicles. California Exhaust-Noise Testing Program Shows Continued Success: The California Bureau of Automotive Repair reports that approximately 90% of the over 1,700 vehicles that have undergone the states exhaust noise test through April have been certified as compliant with California law. The Bureau began operation of the exhaustnoise testing program last August. Test stations are issuing certificates of compliance for vehicles when tests of their exhaust systems show that they emit 95 decibels or less under a fair and predictable test procedure devised by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The testing program was the product of a SEMA and SAN-supported law. Missouri Street Rod/Custom Vehicle Bill and Old-Car Emissions Exemption: The Missouri Legislature combined SEMAs model legislation to create titling and registration classifications for street rods and custom vehicles with a

Legislation and Regulation News

The following articles were originally printed in SEMAs monthly newsletter Driving Force. For more legislative and regulatory information, check out the SEMA website at: http:\\www.sema.org\consumer\fedleg Illinois Inoperable Vehicles: SEMA defeated legislation that threatened to further restrict the ability of vehicle hobbyists to maintain inoperable vehicles on private property. The bill sought the removal of historic vehicles over 25 years of age from a list of vehicles exempt from county inoperablevehicle ordinances if the vehicles were not kept within a building. (Thanks to the members of Corvettes Unlimited of Plainfield, Illinois, for their invaluable help and assistance.) We Got Letters: First, let me say that I appreciate the good work SEMA does in watching out for the collector-car hobby. If it wasnt for SEMA alerting us to these types of anti-hobby bills, we might not know until after the fact. But, I must take issue with the sec4 SMOKE SIGNALS DECEMBER 2004
SAN-supported bill to exempt all vehicles 26 years old and older from emissions inspections and passed both provisions. The combined measure, known as S.B. 1233, now awaits Governor Bob Holdens approval before becoming law. The SEMA-model legislation provides for special license plates and exempts rods and customs from periodic inspections and emissions tests. It also provides for the use of non-original materials and requires an initial safety inspection based on criteria established in part by the local hobbyist community. Under the legislation, a replica vehicle is assigned the same model-year designation as the production vehicle it most closely resembles. If signed into law, the 26-year rolling emissions-test exemption will replace current law, which exempts only vehicles manufactured prior to the 1971 model year. We urge Missouri SAN members to ask Governor Holden to sign the legislation into law. New Hampshire Legislature Passes Exhaust-Noise Bill; Sent to Governor: The New Hampshire House and Senate passed and sent to Governor Craig Benson an amended version of a SEMA-sponsored bill to remove vague and subjective provisions from the states exhaust-noise law. Currently, New Hampshire deems illegal all modifications that increase noise levels above those emitted by the vehicles original muffler. The original SEMAdrafted legislation required law enforcement authorities to prove that an exhaust system modification results in a noise level in excess of 95 decibels as measured by SAE test standard J1169 before issuing a citation. Deeming the 95-decibel limit too restrictive, the Legislature simply deleted provisions in the current law that referenced the noise levels of the original muffler. Rhode Island Exhaust Systems: Absent of a last-minute push by the bills sponsor, it appears that SEMA has defeated Rhode Island legislation that would have labeled as defective an exhaust system found to be in violation of the states noise-limit restrictions. The measure also prescribed fines and replacement of the exhaust system. Given that statutory roadside exhaust noise tests rarely, if ever, are employed, SEMA was concerned that this bills effect would have been to ban the sale of aftermarket exhaust systems of any kind.
Rhode Island Street Rods/Custom Vehicles: The Rhode Island House of Representatives approved SEMA-model legislation to create vehicle registration classifications for street rods, custom vehicles, kit cars and replicas. The bill also provides for special license plates for these vehicles. The Rhode Island Senate now will consider the legislation. Of note, the bill also provides that a replica vehicle will be assigned the same modelyear designation as the production vehicle it most closely resembles, allows the use of non-original materials and exempts these vehicles from periodic safety and emissions inspections.
Virginia Inoperable Vehicles: Virginia enacted into law SEMA-supported legislation to limit significantly the ability of local jurisdictions to implement restrictive ordinances preventing automobile collectors from pursuing their hobby. Under the new law, at least two inoperable vehicles (or more, if a locality permits) being actively repaired or restored on private property would be exempted from any local ordinance if shielded or screened from public view. The measure defines shielded or screened from view as not visible by someone standing at ground level from outside the property on which the inoperable vehicles are located.
SWING AND SWAY WITH LARRY K.

From: Larry Kosek, 2+2 Tech Advisor, Silver Lake, Kansas This story happened about 15 years ago, and still works today. How to make your 1965 to 1970 fullsize Pontiac corner and handle better. I have a 65 Catalina hardtop 2+2 and although the ride is firm, it lacked any cornering prowess. So I ordered both front and rear sway bars from a well known auto catalog. They did make the 2+2 handle better, but I didnt like the way the rear bar was mounted to the lower rear control arms. The kit had metal plates hanging down from the control arms and the bar was mounted between them; it worked alright but hung down too low. I liked the look of the stock ones, mounted up real close to the rear end, but finding a 65 with one was a real challenge! A visit to my local salvage yard turned up a 1973 Grandville with a sway bar that was factory original. I took some measurements and it looked like it would fit. And it did! I had to take off the rear lower control arms to drill the 4 holes in each one to mount the brackets to the control arms. Then 2 bolts hold the bar to the bracket on each end of the control arms. Real easy and the bar tucks up real tight to the rear end. The aftermarket front bar is 1-1/8 inches in diameter and the rear is 15/16 in diameter. So try to find a 71 to 76 fullsize and bolt it in and have your fullsize car corner and handle like a Trans Am. Some Observations: My good friend Ken Cochran owns a real rare car, a 58 Bonneville 2-door hardtop factory equipped with air suspension, and it has a factory rear sway bar. Also a few years ago I was at my favorite salvage yard and was looking at a 59 Catalina station wagon, and it also had a factory rear sway bar. And, just the last week at a swap meet, there was a 41 Oldsmobile needing restoration and it also had a factory rear sway bar. Is this the first year GM installed them? Can anyone help in finding the first year rear sway bars were factory installed?
THANKS from a Proud POCI Member

From: Tom Cihiar Melrose Park, Illinois This is in response to my search for decent sunvisor brackets for my 67 Lemans (October SMOKE SIGNALS). Id like to thank all the people who responded from Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee for all their advice, help, and possible solutions. I was able to find a pair of original sunvisor brackets off a 66 GTO convertible from Gary Lownsdale in Tennessee. Thanks, Gary, the brackets were better then I expected. I can only say that I was impressed in the number of people in POCI who reacted in my behalf. This makes me proud to be a member.
CRASH COURSE
IN POCI RENEWAL PROCESS and a little web site info while were at it!
We wish to thank all those POCI members who faithfully renew their membership dues year-after-year. We will continue to strive to give you more with each and every renewal. Many of you have found the protective SMOKE SIGNALS wrapper a very handy way to check the renewal status of your membership each month. And, about 5060% of you renew using your cover. This assures that you will not miss anything as it is about a two month warning of your dues expiration. This Crash Course is not for you. This is for those who continually write a note on their 2nd Notice renewal post card: I never received a First Notice. It is also for those who continually send nasty notes to Stop telling me my dues are due, I paid already. And, lastly, it is for those who keep sending in $31.00 month-after-month. While we are happy to receive the money, eventually you will not be able to afford to drive your Pontiac if you spend all your extra money on your magazine. So, here is a quick explaination of the Renewal Notice on the wrapper of your magazine: 1) Your dues may be due, and that is what we want you to check. 2) See the information below to determine the status of your renewal. 3) Every month we change the date the one shown in a different color each month and ask you to check it against the information next to your mailing label (henCe below). The date we print in color is always two months in advance of the magazine issue date. 4) If your date printed after DUES EXP to the left of your mailing label falls between the dates printed above in color (see item #3), then this is a TWO MONTH advance notice that your membership dues are coming due soon. Now, isnt that easy?! It has worked well for many, but we are happy to explain it to those who havent figured it out yet. Of course, you are welcome to wait for your 2nd Notice post card which will be mailed approximately one month before your renewal, but there is always a chance it might
1 2
get misplaced or that you might actually miss an issue of your SMOKE SIGNALS. If you miss an issue due to late renewal, it will cost $2.00 to get a copy, so please do not delay with your renewal. Now, as long as we are in such a good learning mode, lets talk web site. Especially the MEMBERS ONLY section. Before ANYONE can access the Members Only section they must fill out and submit the Access Application form. This is the first item listed in the red band on the left of the POCI home
page under Members Only. Why must this be done? So we can check to see if you are actually an active POCI member. We will then input your access codes in the server control panel and e-mail them back to you. This process usually takes one to two days. If you loose your codes, heres a hint: your User Name is YOUR NAME! all lower case letters and NO space inbetween; your Password is your POCI membership number (all six digits, including the zero at the beginning). Cant find your POCI number? Check right next to your address label on your magazine where it says MEM #. Couldnt be simpler!
Mighigan Widetrackers Do
Woodward Dream Cruise

This August the Pontiac-Oakland Club International descended on Woodward Avenue. We made our presence known from the Woodward Loop in Pontiac to the General Motors Display in Royal Oak and beyond. In Royal Oak a few Widetracker Chapter members were invited to display their vehicles alongside the General Motors Historical Collection. Tom and Tira OBrien, Ron and Carole Polus, Jeff Dennison, Al Houtman, Dennis Koss, and Michael Erickson could be seen lurking among the vehicles parked at the Thirteen Mile and Woodward location. Further north in the Woodward Loop parking lot, provided by Joe Hildebrand of the Oakland Press, were many more Widetrackers enjoying the never ending parade of classic cars and trucks that streamed by our location for two days and nights. The City of Pontiac has extended The Worlds Largest One Day Car Event into a two day event and we took full advantage of that extra day. The Widetrackers set up camp at the intersection of Woodward Loop and M-59 and passed out SMOKE SIGNALS Magazines and membership applications to every Pontiac and GMC that stopped at that red light, and even to a few that failed to stop. Vito and Glenna Finazzo and Mike and Mary Woody took their lives in their own hands to dodge (pardon the use of that word) the tire smoking traffic and deliver the membership packets. The only problem with this delivery technique is you only have the few seconds during the light change to deliver your pitch, and its hard to tell how many people responded and joined, although some would come back later to stop and chat about the club. As Bill Fortune says, Its amazing how many Pontiac owners out there dont know about POCI. The Cruise is truly a celebration of the automobile and has grown in the ten years since its inception to include top name recording artists at free concerts, vehicles from movies like Triple-X and the Batmobile, corporate displays and many car shows and cruises in the weeks preceding the Dream Cruise itself. The Michigan Widetracker Chapter of POCI has reserved the same parking lot for next year and barring unforseen happenings like the power failure of 2003, we will spread the word about The Pontiac-Oakland Club International at the Woodward Dream Cruise in 2005.
2004
Greenville, South Carolina:
From the Mountains to the Sea!

In the last SMOKE SIGNALS we discussed nearby attractions in the Southern Appalachians of North Carolina and Tennessee. This time around we are going to talk about some places closer to Greenville. All of the following are east of Greenville, easily reached over Interstate 85. If you dont feel like taking the bus trip, all of these places can be visited at any time during the convention, or while coming or going. BMW Zentrum and Factory We have planned at least two charter bus trips to tour the BMW Zentrum visitors center in Greer, SC, or you can visit on your own. It is about 20 minutes from the Expo Center and visible from I-85. The Zentrum is next to the only BMW manufacturing plant in the US, the plant where the Z3 roadster and X5 SAV are produced. In addition to being a meeting and events center, cafe, and
gallery, the Zentrum is also a time machine where the past, present and future of BMW come together in a one-of-akind building. In addition to the production vehicles, there are exhibits featuring unique prototypes, design concepts, and kinetic art cars. There is no charge to tour the Zentrum, and for a small fee you can also visit the actual BMW assembly line and watch Z3s and X5s being put together. The Zentrum displays BMWs part in automotive history, including models from the early 1920s until now, as well as BMWs role in the development of motorcycle, aircraft, and automotive engines. The displays are arranged chronologically, beginning with the distant beginnings of the Barvarian Motor Works to todays BMWs. The engine display chronicles BMW engines of the past, present, and future. Each engine is displayed with its intended purpose, as well as the designers history and the evolutionary
progress of the engine. The visit includes a 15- minute virtual factory tour of the production assembly line of the Z3 roadster and X5 SAV. Upon exiting the three-screen movie theater you walk directly to fully assembled vehicles, including the original Z3 (chassis 001) that Pierce Brosnan drove in the James Bond movie Golden Eye, complete with license plate 007. For more information about the Zentrum and BMW, go to www.bmwzentrum.com Beacon Drive-In There will be a Pontiac/ Oakland/ GMC cruisein to the world famous Beacon Drive-In in Spartanburg, SC, a regional landmark and a Carolina tradition. You can also visit the Beacon on your own for breakfast, lunch, or din-
ner. It is about 25 to 30 minutes from the Expo Center. The Beacon features barbecue to die for, plus sandwiches, burgers, onion rings, plate lunches, seafood, desserts, breakfast biscuits, and much more. The Beacon preserves a 50s atmosphere, including curb service for that authentic feeling of deja vu. The Beacon was opened on Thanksgiving Day, 1946, and founder John White personally manned the cash register with his sons for more than 50 years. The Beacon continues to be owned and operated by a local family. In 1999, the Beacon created The Beacon Dairy Bar with more than 20 flavors of ice cream, as well as shakes, malts, and other ice cream specialties. The Beacon is the second largest drive-in restaurant in the United States, serving one million customers yearly. In one week, the Beacon uses three tons of onions, three tons of potatoes, and four tons of beef, chicken, and seafood. The Beacon is the largest single seller of iced tea in the United States, sweetening it with 3,000 pounds of sugar every week. The Beacon dining rooms seat 350 people and can accommodate groups up to 100 in one room. For more information, go to the Beacon website, www.beacondrivein.com Gaffney Prime Outlets We are planning a trip to the Prime Outlets Store in Gaffney, SC. Prime Outlets is a group of low price outlet stores including some of the most famous retailers in America, offering a diverse shopping experience. Major

From the Mountains to the Sea
time the Grand Am departed from the Pontiac lineup in 1976, it was too late. The GTO was already done after it was downsized from the LeMans to the Ventura for 1974 and then dropped. With that the LeMans had virtually no image to speak of. In 1976 Jim Wangers took a LeMans sport coupe with a 400 cid V8 and Turbo Hydra-Matic, painted it Carousel Red and added Honeycomb wheels, a Trans Am spoiler and 69 Judge striping, and presented it to Pontiac management as a possible revival of the GTO Judge. He sensed that a GTO revival might aid in improving LeMans sales. But Pontiacs management wouldnt budge on the idea of reviving the 76 GTO, but it did review the concept and brought the car into production as the 77 Can Am.
LeMans Sales in the Seventies

By: Mark Potter Vernon, Texas Part of the reason for the decline in LeMans sales in the 1970s in relation to other GM intermediates (i.e. Chevelle, Malibu, Cutlass, Century, Regal, etc.) is the fact that the 1973 restyling didnt catch on too well and the few drastic changes made for 1974 especially the rear didnt help a whole lot. The introduction of the Grand Am really segmented both LeMans and GTO sales, and the success of the Grand Prix (which shared the A-special body with Chevys Monte Carlo) deeply cut into LeMans sales. Even the introduction of the top-line
Luxury LeMans and later, Grand LeMans, didnt much help. Many intermediate buyers preferred the styling of the Olds Cutlass Supreme or Buick Century Regal coupes to any of Pontiacs offerings aside from the GP. Also, LeMans was accorded little promotional emphasis from Pontiac during these years as PMD chose to promote the Grand Am, Grand Prix (selling like hotcakes) and the Firebird (also a red-hot seller).

POCI
WESTERN REGIONAL
Reno, Nevada September 1719, 2004
To many it was just a windy and chilly Saturday, but to the members of the Silver State Pontiacs it was the culmination of two years of dedicated hard work. The donuts and coffee were ready; the class markers were in place; the club members were present en masse; the raffles and swap meet were set up; registration was standing by and it was time for a car show and banquet to rival any the Western Region of POCI had ever seen. It all began, though, on Friday with early registration at noon and then the Poker Run with $300.00 on the line in prize money. There were five themed stops from a Hawaiian Luau to the Mad Hatters with the last stop at Hobeys Casino for a mini show-n-shine, live radio remote, two-for-one dinners and dash plaques. The night culminated with two trophies being awarded by the casino owners. The party was officially underway and Fridays activities were truly only the tip of the iceberg. Show day began at 4:30 A.M. as members of the Silver State Pontiacs arrived at the Atlantis Hotel and Casino to
set up canopies, booths, registration and class parking. Twentynine dozen donuts and coffee were ready when participants started to arrive and the live band, Papa Clutch and the Shifters, was ready to rock-n-roll by 11:00 as the last few participants pulled in and were parked in their class locations. Next to the show-n-shine the Silver State Pontiacs set up a small swap meet; an extraordinary raffle with very classy prizes; a 50/50 raffle; a
In the convention hospitality room were Chapter displays, model car entries, and car photos all to be judged and awards presented to the winners. Also set up was former Pontiac Motor Division ad illustrator, Art Fitzpatrick, with samples of his work. Later that night Art did a fascinating presentation of his artwork and years at PMD. He shared humorous stories and showed many examples of his distinctively styled ads.
silent auction; a show merchandise booth with sweatshirts, T-shirts, hats, pilsner beer glasses and glass coffee mugs all with the Western Regional logo printed on them. There were also craft booths and several merchants. Les Schwab Tire Centers were represented as well as Winkle Pontiac/ GMC, the local dealership, who displayed a new G6 and a GTO.
The 300+ attendees at the banquet acknowledged their appreciation for Arts presentation on the wide track years with a standing ovation. At the show-n-shine the 40+ Silver State Pontiac cars were parked in a display only area and the participants cars were placed in one of 48 different class sections. There were participants from Nevada, California, Arizona, Utah, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and Wisconsin, but the farthest traveled was Robert Desrochers, POCI President, and his wife Donna who came all the way from Rhode Island! Participants voted for class winners and nominated eight cars for the Elite Eight. These eight cars became the candidates for Best of Show. The Silver State Pontiac members had the honor to vote for their favorite car out of the Elite Eight to determine the conventions Best of Show winner. The Elite Eight included a very wide variety of Pontiacs and Oaklands including two 1926 Oaklands (one American and one Canadian) owned by Lee Orr, a 1957 Bonneville convertible owned by Mike and Madeline Johnson, a 1961 Ventura owned by Bob Knudsen Jr., a 1955 Chieftain owned by Terry Lattemore, a 1969 Trans Am owned by Mike McGee, a 2002 Grand Prix owned by Adam Peralta, and a 1939 Pontiac convertible street rod owned by Richard Stagno. The winner was determined through a ballot count and the Best of Show trophy was awarded to Mike and Madeline Johnson for their 1957 Bonneville. All Elite Eight car owners received a ribbon and a Walking Liberty silver dollar. As the days activities wound down, the cocktail hour began and started the evenings events. The buffet dinner of BBQ ribs, prime rib, chicken, and seafood salad as entrees and many fabulous desserts was enjoyed by all. Following

dinner a Les Schwab Tires representative presented their donation of a set of wheels won through the raffle. A door prize was awarded to a lucky winner it was the passenger-side door from a 1992 Pontiac Grand Am! A two-dollar bill liars poker game was played and a lucky participant went home with a $1000.00 prize. Also won was a $250.00 BBQ donated by Western Nevada Supply. The night culminated with the much-anticipated awards. Over 80 awards were presented to 1st and 2nd place class winners. All winners also received an Eisenhower silver dollar as a symbol of appreciation from the Silver State Pontiacs. The awards presented were unique. Instead of standard trophies, the Silver State Pontiacs awarded plaques designed to look like Nevada license plates with First, Second, and Honorable Mention printed on them. It was 10:30 P.M. when the exhausted members of the Silver State Pontiacs called it a day and an extremely successful 2004 POCI Western Regional Convention came to an end. Special recognition must go to Diane Horning for her outstanding efforts in putting this show together. Without her drive and leadership, this grrreat show would not have happened. The Silver State Pontiac Chapter is fortunate to have such a dynamic Events Director. Check the Silver State Pontiacs website at www.silverstatepontiac.com. Its soon to be completely redesigned and many photographs of the 2004 Convention will be posted.

The car was originally all white but now baby blue over dark blue metallic which looks great with the original blue interior. Catherine has been around Pontiacs all of her life, getting oily helping with the maintenance and accompanying me to shows and cruises since a very early age, first in my 1980 Firebird and the last 5 years the Catalina.

The Restoration of a 28 Pontiac Landau Sedan

By: Frank & Rhonda Stirling Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada
By: Frank & Rhonda Stirling Abbotsford, British Columbia Canada My wife, Rhonda, and I, having done a frame up restoration of a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain in 1993 decided that we wanted to get a Nickel-era Pontiac. By nickel-era cars I am referring to those that were built after the brass era, ending in the teens, but before the classic era when chrome plating became fashionable for trim items. Nickel brightwork has a fashionable golden glow, whereas the chrome has a cold, bluish tint. Nickel-era cars have a lot to commend them; they cant cruise on highway speeds but that is not everything. Nickel-era cars are easy to work on and require few sophisticated tools, except for perhaps the slide hammer to remove the rear axle bearings. They run on regular unleaded gasoline and love
After a few near purchases, we fimodern lubricants. With my introducnally found a 1928 Pontiac Landau setion to the mechanical brakes of this dan, through Hemmings, located in 1928, albeit 4 wheels, I have adopted Mabel, Minnesota. This model was the the Boy Scout motto be prepared third model year for Pontiac which was when it comes to stopping! I am fortua lower priced entry vehicle offered by nate that this 1928 Pontiac has the 4the Oakland Motor Car Company, a diwheel mechanical brake setup; the first vision of General Motors. We struck a year for this in Pontiac. There is also, on (continued on next page....) the rear wheels, an external band emergency hand brake, as well. The 1928 had some new inBEFORE novations besides the 4-wheel brake system for it also had, for the first time, the cross flow radiator, the headlight dimmer switch located on the floor beside the driver, and a fuel pump mounted on the engine without the need for a vacuum tank to assist in the fuel delivery to the carburetor. The 1928 models also had a brake light, which the previous years did not have.
deal with the retiring farmer and bought the car. We arranged shipping to the West Coast and picked it up in Bellingham in July 2000 where we proceeded to trailer it back across the border into Canada to Vancouver, British Columbia. Upon closer examination when we got it home, we found that it was as original as it could be having the original manufacture date stamped carburetor, fuel pump, generator, and starting motor, engine, and transmission. The rear end housing even bore the serial number of the car! All these items were working (borderline), but I knew they would not pass the mechanical inspection required before licensing in B.C. The 1928 main wiring harness, for example, was in tatters and very unsafe. Upon trying to adjust the doors I realized that I had some problems; the door frames were in poor shape as was all the lower wood that supported the body. In fact all the wood from the roof to the metal frame needed replacing as well as the running board wood and the interior floorboards. I soon noticed that the body panels at the front cowl area and the rear over the gas tank were beginning to crack from the metal of the body supporting the car without a sound wood substructure. I knew then that I had a total restoration to consider. My wifes inclination was to forget it....push it off a cliff somewhere.... I decided to try and save it! Little did I realize what I had taken on! The original oak 12-spoke wheels were in amazing shape and very tight ,which was encouraging. Now I was into a 33month project with lots of research to be done. I first decided to do the replacement of all the bearings and seals. The rear axle needed a puller to be fabricated and the use of a slide hammer to remove the original rear axle and
bearings. I replaced the bearings with a sealed type and new seals to prevent the seepage of the rear axle lubricant on to the rear brake shoes. The front wheel seals and bearings needed replacing as well. All the brake shoes were relined locally using the original type of woven material and riveted to the old metal backing and reinstalled. The body was also taken apart. The main body was lifted off the frame and
all the lower perimeter wood was replaced, with the help of a local cabinetmaker, with either birch or maple. One of our earliest discoveries was the right front cowl/doorpost wood had to be fashioned to replace the crude 2X2 that had been fitted in there after the car had something fall on it some 20-plus years ago. The door post between the front and rear doors, on the passenger side, was so badly rotted that it did not make contact either with the roof above or the
wooden rocker below, but was only held in place with the exterior metal that originally encased the wood. After some 16 hours of millwork a new one was fashioned and fit inside the metal to make a solid doorpost. While replacing the original deteriorated wood with a new piece of wood we often found that the adjoining piece showed that it too needed replacement; would it ever end? However, it was finally all done and the doors now shut like an old Bentley! The starter, generator, fuel pump, and carburetor were all disassembled and rebuilt, as new. All the plate glass had to be removed for safety reasons and new safety glass for the windshield and tempered glass for the body was made. This glass was reinstalled after the car had been stripped of its original paint and repainted one of the other optional colors that was offered for this car in 1928. I also had to fabricate the front metal windshield visor and fabricate new supports, with the help of POCIs Rich Rose in Denver, CO; then I made the front windshield regulator board to attach the windshield regulator that was missing from the car due to whatever had fallen on the old Pontiac some 20 years previously. The front windshield now lifts up some three inches into the roof area for front ventilation at the lower part of the windshield! The painting preparation was a bit of a problem, which necessitated changing body shops. The first choice just was not working out for a lot of reasons. A new body shop was sourced and it all worked out. After painting, I was very pleased to have the assistance of a former restorer of a 1927 Oldsmobile who assisted with the reassembly of the newly painted body panels including the four fenders, cowl, running boards,

ers who will do as I have and bring another one of these back on the road. So next time you are driving around in the countryside, keep an eye out for an exciting piece of Pontiac automotive history and consider the acquisition of possibly a Nickel-era car or early 30s Pontiac. Or, in a few years, the newer POCI members may be wishing they had a Nickelera car or a pre-WWII Pontiac and they will all be gone! We are members of POCIs Early headlights and headlight bar, the four doors, as well as the hood and radiator support, in almost a scratch-free operation. After this I installed a new wiring harness from Rhode Island Wiring. This vehicle was all completed and on the road in early April 2003 and made its debut on the local Easter Parade. The first outing the 1928 Pontiac performed without incident. An original 6-cylinder 186 C.I. engine that puts out an amazing 40 HP powers it. Even its original Carter updraft carburetor, having being rebuilt, works like a dream. It cruises at up to 40 to 45 MPH with little effort. We have enjoyed summer shows with this car last year and it has amazed me how many times it has won the coveted Best of Show awards. At its first Concourse dEllegance show it won the Best of Class award, which was quite satisfying. In May 2004 it won another Best of Show award at the Boulevard Park show in Bellingham, Washington. It is really quite a favorite of the local car shows and people enjoy seeing a 1928 vehicle that is not a Model A Ford! I only wish that there more of these old early twenties cars around, other than model As. Maybe there will be oth-

This movie, which was nominated for the Golden Globe, is available to rent at most video rentals locations. I also own a 54 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Catalina coupe (model 2837SD) that was rescued from Butte, Montana, in 1978. It needs re-wiring, interior, and paint to be on the road again. We have a great liking of those old Pontiac flathead L-type engines and how they just keep on going and going like the Duracell Battery ad says.
Pontiac Trivia
Some interesting trivia about how Pontiac got its name. It was built by Oakland Motor Company, founded in 1907 in a buggy shop on Oakland Avenue, in the city of Pontiac, Oakland County, Michigan. In 1926 Oaklands General Manager, Alfred R. Clancy, was credited with the name when taking over Oakland. Mr. Clancy said When I got to the plant I found designs for it hanging on the wall and over them someone had written Pontiac. Yet, when he got ready to christen the first Pontiac in 1926, with a bottle of Champagne, he claimed the new car was named after Chief Pontiac, who led the Ottawa, Chippewa, Pottawatomi, and Miami in a powerful Indian federation in the mid-eighteenth
century. Mr. Clancy stated, If this was Chief Pontiac doing this (new vehicle announcement), he wouldnt be breaking the only bottle of Champagne in Oakland County, he would be drinking it! Remember that this was during prohibition. So, take your pick! Was it after the city of Pontiac, or the name Mr. Clancy found on the wall, or Chief Pontiac? I am not sure which, myself ! In 1926 a total of 76,742 vehicles were built; 127,883 in 1927 and 210,883 for 1928. This 1928 production number was not surpassed untill 1937, when 236,189 vehicles were built. Pontiac was in 5th place in USA vehicle production in 1928! From this point their ranking only improved. The 500,000 Pontiac was built in June 1929.

It can be fun for some, but it just means the car is consistent and the driver is good or lucky. I rant about this subject as there are so many misleading paths a new gear head can travel. A guy trying to learn what it takes to make the power he desires can easily be sold a bill of goods. I see too much of it and it ticks me off. I want my Pontiac friends to have fun with their goals. Anyone that wants to go fast with a traditional Pontiac engine, I consider them a friend. My Super Stock Class win at Indy clearly defines the difference between what I do with Pontiac engines and the no-rules thrills seekin salesmen. At Indy this year, six cars showed up for my Super Stock Class. GT/DA. All but mine are Chevy powered. Including the car that has held the record for the last five years. I wanted to be able to beat that car. But, you know, what kind of a dream does a poor boy get to realize anyhow. NHRA allows Chevy motors in Pontiac bodies, as long as that year body came with the corporate, (Chevy) engine. Im up against millions of dollars of Chevy R&D, literally, since 1955. You think maybe a billion has been spent on the small block research since 1955? I doubt if thats an exaggeration. On the
other hand Im the only 428 Pontiac engine in history that is running NHRA Super Stock. I had no one to compare notes with. Ive done all of my own R&D. With five years to get ready for this 50th anniversary race at Indy, I knew I had my work cut out for me. The D class is pretty high up the performance ladder and the record was 9.63 at that time. Trust me, as neat as it would be to posture myself like some big time professional with lots of money, if you know me, you know thats not me. (I can hear the knowing crowd cackling, No kidding) So what. The people Ive seen posture themselves as something theyre not havent impressed me. I love what I do with these traditional Pontiac engines. It doesnt pay a bunch. I get by, especially living in California and having a California mortgage. The lack of big funds means my research takes longer, and making the correct changes for improvement is also time consuming. I recently paid off a SuperFlow engine dyno and its now set up in my shop. Like any other tool, it takes skill to operate. Ive dyno tested over 150 of my customers engines at another facility, so I have plenty of dyno experience. All dynos are not created equal but the drag strip is. Most of my R&D with the Super Stocker has been done at the track. Lots of runs. Lots of mistakes. My good fortune? Im a fast learner. Would that help me at Indy? I found out after my first run; I was lost. A dyno wouldnt help me now. Not back east. The Pressure: Going to Indy with a car that had only ran on the west coast presented an unforseen problem. I knew the air is different out west. We have little or no humidity. The mid-west is humid, so the added water meant Id be down on power. Having done my homework I knew Id have to make some changes, but, you only get four chances to qualify at the big race. I was ready for the tuning changes the engine would need. However, I wasnt ready to rethink the chassis setup. At NHRA national events, in Stock and Super Stock, only the top 128 cars that run farthest under their index get to run in their respective bracket eliminator. Theres actually two races in one event. Class racing, where you run everyone in your class for top honors. Little money, but major bragging rights.

Something as indicator of how well your car hooked simple as that, but hey, it was my first up. On the first time trial I recorded a time at Indy. I hadnt realized that being 1.66 sixty foot time.

Theres a problem. Rats. What to do. I thought I only had one more time trial before class eliminations. I found out tho that NHRA allows your first Class elimination run to count as a final qualifying run. It is, your final qualifying attempt. Im thinking, thank God. I had two more chances to qualify and maybe get in lower than the precarious 109th posi- Wheelstands are great for pictures, not good for ETs.
night wondering about it. I was so concerned that I knew Id be miserable with my friends so I slept in my truck. The next morning would be the first round of class, and my last qualifying pass. My inconsistent car was now a sitting duck against the more experienced racers. Um...More Pressure: Friday morning. This is it. I got paired up with Merle Eschmans Grand Am. Paired up only because Merle had pulled up behind me. After we met and talked a while, we figured to heck with the coin toss that pairs up the racers, we were the first two cars in the lanes, so we decided to run each other. Merle and I flipped my lucky silver dollar for lane choice and he won. He picked the right lane. We had qualified close, both running 9.85s, so I just figured, heck with it, as long as the second shock setting was the one, even if I lost I ought to move up the qualifying sheet.
Merele was a swell guy and a class act. I did. The car left perfectly. Not too high. No spin. Just right. I went 9.83. Which moved me to the 90th spot. I was real lucky, and guess what? Somehow I also beat Merle! He went 9.85 in a race closer than Id like. That meant I got another chance to practice reation times. To recap a little there were six cars in my Class, so no one was going to get a bye run. Five of the six were qualified from 9.80 flat to 9.90 flat. Jim Borbokas car, now owned by P.C. Richards, which was the car I had set my sights on five years ago, was the fastest at 9.74. A whole tenth quicker that the rest of the field. Blah! Hey, all one can do is think, One round at a time. I thought, If I win just one class run off, cool. And I had. So at least I was going to get another run. My second Class race was with Bret Voges. My lucky silver dollar lost me that toss too and Bret picked the left lane. Again, knowing we had previously qualified very close, we both knew it was probably going to be won or lost on our reaction time at the tree. Of course you never know when someone is sandbagging, saving their best performance for Class eliminations. Bret wasnt sandbagging. He took a shot at the tree and redlit! My car left once again perfectly.
I was going to the Class final against too. I gave that stinkin coin to the first the car, but not the man, that I had person that walked by.

WINTER PROJECTS
POCI member Roger Simmins of Lawrenceville, New Jersey sent in the August 2004 issue of Scale Auto shown at the right. You guessed it its all about Pontiac GTOs! Well, much of it. The feature, cover story, is all about the detailing of a 1/25 scale Revell-Monogram 1966 GTO. It gives step-by-step instructions with very good photos of everything, including engine, exhaust system, interior, body, and trim detailing. It is quite involved, but the results are fantastic. It looks like the real thing! But it doesnt stop there. Immediately following the 66 detailing article is an article entitled 40 Years of Greatness a kit history for GTO builders and collectors. This article takes you through the GTO years in models from beginning to present. If you have ever wondered what GTO model kits were produced, by whom, and when, this is a must read. This will help you locate whatever you are looking for, and even gives information on kits that have been reissued. And, theres even more. Elsewhere in this issue you will find a neat build of a 67 Firebird and as an extra bonus, on the last page in a section
Except for the last two model years (1973 and 1974), every year of Pontiac GTO has been replicated in 1/24 or 1/25 scale by at least one American kit manufacturer.

Following the cruise to Cheri Os participants returned to the show site for a parking lot party which featured games, music, and R/C car races. The next morning registration and teching started promptly at 8:00 am ending at 12:00 noon. Early in the afternoon participants were also given the opportunity to hear Jim Hands presentation and learn about his new book How To Build Max Performance Pontiac V-8s. A quick look over the show field saw the usual high quality cars with many notable standouts including a 1939 Pontiac owned by Bob Chalek from Council Bluffs, Iowa; a 1969 GTO owned by Karl and Mary Kumbel of Remsen, Iowa; and Dave Puhls 57 Chieftain from Omaha. Other worthy contenders included Ray and Sharon Goschs 1959 Bonneville and a 1992 GMC Typoon owned by Mark and Sheri Pieloch. If you enjoy something a little more on the wild side, then a Fiero Scorpion kit car might suit your fancy, plus a 1948 GMC extended cab 3-door custom. The awards were held at 4:00 with presentations made by host club presidents Tom Rappl and Shawn Kniesley and Best in Class awards announced (see listing) by club member Harry Allen.

The Club Participation Award went to the Redline Warriors Club from Des Moines, Iowa and special Appreciation awards were also presented to show sponsors and special guests. This years show had 238 entries covering forty-nine classes with entries representing nine states. Participants traveled as far as Wyoming, Colorado and Ohio, a testament to the on-going hard work and dedication of these two clubs. I asked Mr. Dyrda why the show continues to be a success year after year. The bottom line value he replied. Where else can you get so
much, for so little? The $20 entry fee gets you a quality show-shirt; a guaranteed award plaque (based on your cars level of workmanship); a chance at a $100 cash giveaway; and a door prize. If you attend Saturday nights activities you also receive a free meal (you and your family); the Ice Cream Cruise; and more giveaways. Next years show is planned for August 2728 at Nebraska Crossing. Inquires can be directed to Joe Dyrda, event coordinator, at (402) 289-3620;email at joed3@novia.net. Make plans now to attend the 2005 show which should be Bigger and Better. Well see ya there!

CALLING ALL CUSTOMS!

From: Lou Calasibetta President Street Rod/Modified Chapter
We are finally getting a Popular Vote Custom Car Class in South Carolina at the 2005 convention. Our Chief Judge, Rick Gonser, has added one. But, we will need at least three (3) Pontiacs to be entered into the class. Now listen, Im getting tired of fighting for all you guys. Lets all register NOW, and make South Carolina a true custom turn out. As Ive said before, the Good Guys event was loaded with custom cars, Im only asking for three. I know you can do it. After all, this is the largest growing sector of POCI. This can set a new precedent for our club.

ALOHA FROM
KAHUNA VILLE
Ben Deutschman Metuchen, New Jersey Now before anyone gets the idea that maybe Id taken a trip to Hawaii, let me state for the record here, that no such thing happened. Instead of Hawaii, I, and three fellow Trans Am owners, took a trip from the central New Jersey area, down to a place called Kahunaville, which is located in what was once a river front industrial district, in the town of Wilmington, Delaware. The former industrial site has been cleaned up, and now sports several outlet stores, and a family restaurant/bar/family entertainment center, called Kahunaville. The group consisted of my 1976 Trans Am, a 1978 Special Edition Trans Am owned by my friends wife, Jenn, a 1976 Trans Am owned by another friend of mine, Dave Faust, and a 1979 Trans Am owned by Anthony, whom we had met earlier in the year at a local Cruise Night. Our trip began along the New Jersey Turnpike, by exit 10, where I, and my 3 friends met up. Though we were supposed to have left at 6:00 a.m., for a planned 8:00 a.m. arrival at Kahunaville, foul weather delayed our departure until 8:00 a.m., when at least the rain had ceased, and all we had to deal with were overcast skies. Other than a required pit stop for the young-ins, Staging Lines our ride down to Kahunaville went without incident, and we arrived at the staging area for the Cruise Around Kahunaville at 10:00 a.m. Due to a somewhat reduced turnout, as a result of the threatening skies, and despite our late arrival, we were still allowed to stage up for the cruise which was set to step off at 10:45 a.m. While we waited in the staging lanes, yours truly observed the My Classic Car film crew filming the hood of my Trans Am, and seized the moment to give the camera crew a short history lesson on my car. What I did, was to pull out a 16 x 20 photo display, which shows my T/A looking quite good prior to its restoration, followed by some photos showing just how deteriorated my car actually was under all that apparent beauty. The camera crew was quite obliging, much to my surprise, and pleasure, and proceeded to re-shoot the sequence with my T/A in it, adding of course the photo display to the segment. Now all I have to do I guess, is hope the segment makes it to the final cut. After the film crew departed, I spotted Dennis Gage, and asked him if hed pose for a photo of myself and him. Mr. Gage said no problem, and my son Martin took care of taking the picture for his present at the show, however, even with an estimated 500+ cars present, I could only find two other 70s vintage Trans Ams at this event, both 79 models.
My friend Dave had missed out on getting Dennis to pose by his car while we were staged up for the Cruise, but thanks to some eagle eyed spotting on my part, and some sprinting on Daves part, he was able to get Mr. Gage to pose by his car later in the day, and not to be outdone, my son Martin also shanghaied Mr. Gage for a quick photo op by his Dads T/A. Now I must say
Dennis Gage and Ben. Dad. A short time later, we departed for our rather annotated Cruise, which took us out of the staging area, down the street opposite Kahunaville, after which we made a couple of lefts, rode under Rt 95 for a short distance, back into the far end of the Outlet Mall parking lot, and then finally arriving back at Kahunaville, at which point we were then directed to our respective parking areas for the car show. There were quite a number of cars
Son, Martin, and Dennis Gage.

that Mr. Gages patience, and not to mention willingness to pose for a second time, next to the same car hed already posed by, just to make a little boy happy, certainly made a favorable impression upon that little boys Dad. At 3:30 p.m. we packed up our belongings, took a few more photos of our group of cars, and headed home. As we left, a couple of us engaged in the sanctioned Burnout Contest, whose prize I suppose, was the thrill of seeing how much tread one could remove from the tires of ones car, in the shortest amount of time. I believe I may have come in first among my friends. The trip back

home was fortunately as uneventful as our ride down to Kahunaville, in that we encountered no rain, no traffic tie-ups, and we sort of played a tamed down version of Pole-Position on the way home, so that my friends wife, Jenn, could take a few photos of each of our cars as we motored on up the Jersey Turnpike.

Although the Canadian-type Pontiacs continued with the all-Pontiac styling policy begun with the 1955 models, they still used the Chevrolet chassis. It was the 1959 Pontiac which started the Wide-Track track, and gave it wide publicity. The United Statres was Wide-Track country, but not Canada. Canadian Pontiacs had the same stance as Chevrolet. The tread was 60.3 inches at the front and 59.3 at the rear. An ironic twist to this narrow-gauge Canadian Pontiac situation was that American sales catalogs devoted a full page to the wide track concept, but neglected to state what the new tread was. The Canadian Pontiac sales catalog makes no mention of the Wide-Track, of course, but on the specifications page, gives the front and rear tread, along with other exterior dimensions. For anyone still in the dark, the 1959 American Wide-Track Pontiac had a tread of 63.7 inches in front and 64 inches in the rear. Some Americans claim they can spot the narrow Canadian Pontiacs and think they look funny. To make such an identification seems incredible. The 1.7 inch difference on each side is scarcely detectable, especially when the wheels are the same distance to the cars maximum width as the 1959 Chevrolet.

Several Chapter members attended the annual Pumpkinfest celebration in Port Elgin, Ontario the first weekend in October. Not only did we get to inspect the new world record pumpkin weighing in at 1,446 pounds but we also got to see lots of neat classic cars at the big car show. Member George Albright, along with his wife, Jane, took the Chapter long distance award by driving their 62 Tempest convertible over 1,100 miles on the international roundtrip. Unlike years past, we were rewarded with unusually warm weather. Temperatures pushing 60 with sunny skies prevailed both days of the weekend. We held the first ever Ray Mills memorial cruise during the weekend. Ray is the one who got most of us going to Pumpkinfest every year and this was our first one without him. He was certainly missed but definitely not forgotten. Plans are being made for next years Chapter activities. Watch for more information on our annual Pow Wow to be held the weekend of June 4th and 5th in Gananoque, Ontario Canada. We will also have our annual Tempest Tantrums Weekend in conjunction with the Tri-Power Pontiac Nationals
Palmetto Chapter (SC)

A great time was had by all attending the annual POW WOW at the beach. The weather was GREAT! We met for dinner on Friday night at Nascar Cafe and swapped car stories. We had 36 cars show up for the show. BEST OF SHOW went to Nick Tomlinson with his 1967 GTO. Congratulations Nick! If you havent registered for the National Convention for July 2005, please get your registration in. A lot of the hotels are already booked. We are looking forward to a great turn out. Anyone interested in volunteering to help in ANY way, please contact me and I will get you to the right person.

Many of the original members are still members of the Chapter and we always hope to increase our Pontiac numbers each year.

CHAPTER E-NEWS
ATTENTION ALL CHAPTERS
In the Members Only section of the POCI web site there is a special section called Chapter News. This section was specifically designed to allow all Chapters to add/update news about their Chapter and events. If you do not wish to continually update this information, PLEASE at least write-up a general description of your Chapter; list contact person(s), phone numbers, and if you can, where and when meetings are held. This will help POCI members who are not yet members of a Local or Speciality Chapter learn about you and hopefully join your group.
San Diego Chapter

There is good news and bad news at this time of the year. The bad news is that the number of shows and events is starting to diminish. The good news is that the events on the calendar are some of the best of the year. On November 14, the Tour de Wangers will be taking place once again. This will be my first time attending, but those who have been before cant say enough about it. It will be a cruise event, and there will be lunch, not to mention Jim Wangers awesome vehicle and automobilia collection. We enter into the holiday season and spend time with friends and family. Sometimes the distinction between the two begins to blur after spending so much time with each other throughout the year. It is these friendships that make our Chapter one of the best in the country. In December, the annual SDPOCI holiday party will be held at the Keetchs house. This event is always one of the years best, with good friends, good food, good wine, and good presents at the gift exchange. We hope that Alan Sugarman will be able to make it all the way to the party without recurrence of last years vehicle bonfire. The San Diego Auto Show this year will be honoring the GTO and our Chapter will be out in force to support the effort. One of each year GTO will be on display and members of the Chapter will be there to talk cars (and membership). Club elections will be taking place soon, and with that comes the Installation Brunch in January. This is always a great event with wonderful food and

The month of December 2004 will be the tenth anniversary of the chartering of our Chapter.

Members Only Section of POCI Web Site
We are very happy with the growth of the Members Only section of our web site. But, we are having a lot of extra work by those who continue to resubmit their application to the Members Only section. For some reason, we have members who send in their application again and again. Your Members Only application needs to be submitted ONLY once. If you forget your user name and password, or if your computer looses it, first thing to do is try using your first and last name with all lower case letters and no space between them for your user name. Then try your POCI membership number including all six digits as your password. If this doesnt work, then resubmit the application. You do not need to resubmit it when you change your email address or any other of your information. And please do not use the application as a note pad to send us messages. Thank you for your help.
a festive gathering of Chapter members. It seems that at this time of year, the focus becomes less on the cars, and more on the people, and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. Our Chapter has some great members and it is always fun to learn more about people aside from what they drive. Friendships are created and strengthened with these events and thats truly what the Chapter is all about. We are individuals connected by our Pontiacs, but we are friends connected by our hearts. For more informatuion about the San Diego Chapter of POCI, contact Dave Keeth, 154 El Camino Pequena, El Cajon, CA 92019.
with his 41 Silver Streak at the Nutmeg Chapters fall show at Barberino Pontiac. On October 10th, six couples cruised to Sakonnet Vineyards for a day of tasting and picnicking. This has become one of our most popular events. As usual, the vineyard went out of its way to make us feel at home. On October 16th, Little Rhody hosted its annual Foliage and Poker run. This year, we took in some of New Englands finest scenery as we toured western RI and northeast CT. The views were often spectacular as we cruised a designated national scenic highway. Paul and Joanne Zito won the $25 prize for having the best poker hand. The day ended at a surprise 30th anniversary party for Dennis and Dianne Ducharme. The following events will close out 2004: Our annual Christmas tree run is schedule for the day after Thanksgiving. As has our been the custom in the past, we will drive to Franconia, NH and stay at Parkers Motel. Our annual Christmas party is scheduled for December 5th at the Village Haven. There will be a guest appearance of a guy in a red suit who drives a 66 GTO. Our last cruise of the year will be on December 7th as we cruise to Stockbridge, MA to partake in a celebration of Norman Rockwells Christmas on Main Street. Nominations were accepted for our open Board and Executive Committee positions at our October meeting.

The Hurricane Chapter of South Florida

The state of Florida made it through 4 hurricanes in 6 weeks, some of us just got our lawns watered, some lost power for a few days, and some of us sustained severe damage. We would like to thank all the generous donations that came in for our hurricane relief drive for the Red Cross which has been doing, and is doing, an amazing job to get lives back to normal. The POCI family is an amazing one, and it shows. We would like to mention all the generous donors, be it in cash or stuffed animals which will go to the littlest victims of these storms. These include: The Hurricane Chapter, Yankee Chapter, Arch Chapter, John DeBenedetto, Paul & Darlene Mack, Marvin and Monica Diaz, Maurice Butch Bay, Johnnie and Letita McKenzie, Topless Tom Martin, Buddy Brooks (from South Carolina), Sebastian Diaz, Ivan and Lucy Cobo (from Maryland), and Brandon Kornbluth. Having our Fourth Annual All-Pontiac/GMC Halloween Car Show brought our Pontiacs back into the sunlight and helped to get things back to normal last month. Our sponsor, Pines Pontiac, had the first and so far ONLY G6 in the Southeast United States at the show for us to see (and BUY, but there were no takers yet!). Along with a 2004 GTO and the dealers 64 and 65 convertible GTOs, we had a great start to what became a full show field. Our own Topless Tom dressed as the King Of The Road didnt scare anyone away, and kept the show goers amused with his microphone antics while raffling off all the gifts our generous sponsors provided for us. Trophies all around! We know that in the next few months some of our northern friends will be looking to get away from that thing called Winter that we have heard about (but dont get to see).

Fall has been a busy time for members of the Arch Chapter. We are trying to squeeze in everything we can before the winter months set in. September was our annual Wine Run. We had 18 cars cruising down the highway on a beautiful fall day. October brought our annual picnic and meeting. Despite a chilly day, we had a good turnout, lots of good food and a good time was had by all. The November event will be a dinner cruise to The Pioneers Cabin in Willisville, Illinois. Members participated in two 50/50 drawings at recent events to raise
