First cruise of the season in Escondido

Above is one of the side streets, not the main drag. Below is the duece donation grill

Tweety bird mudflaps.. yikes.

great shifter, it's in a 50's Dodge Sierra

Great centerpiece design and dash piece over the glove box. The dual ashtrays are not unique, a few cars had them, but the clock between and the radio above turned out really well

Instantly recognizeable tail light, I like that about older cars from the 60's

Would anyone research buying a GTO as much as Don Montgomery? Probably not, and his GTO has been found, restored, reunited with all the paperwork

Don sold this car but didn't pass along the collection of paperwork registration cards, build sheet, window sticker, etc etc... he kept them, and when he found the car restored, and displayed at the Vista Rod Run, the new owner talked to him, and he mailed it all. It's a lot!

Here is some of the research Don did, he had found the cost of all the options and then went to all the GM dealerships to see who would sell him one at the best price, he got it for 600 less than the sticker

If you don't know who Don was, here is a biography:
