Car Show

We went to a car show in Crown Point Indiana last week while on vacation. The town is unique in that it has a center square, with historic court house in the center. Cars were on display parked along the street around the square. Can you identify this? It was very popular back in the early 1970's when "muscle cars" were everywhere. And, they were VERY fast!

I had a bright red new1970 Pontiac GTO with a "plus" 400 cc engine and it literally plastered me to the seat when it accelerated. Unfortunly, some dope ran into the rear of us one day and that took care of my beauty. Traded it in on a new Toyota 4 cylinder, "family" car. My racing days were over.
