Joe Sherlock - The View Through The Windshield

Joe Sherlok - that's his real name (and he has a 1939 Plymouth and he has a large model railroad) writes a short history of Pontiac focusing on the 50s and 60s models. His descriptions are just right. I believe the 60s GM cars represent the best of 20th century industrial style. The 1965 Pontiac fastback coupe is among the finest examples. It defines a Classic.

Joe uses fantastic period art of a 1958 Buick B-58 coupe to head up his pages. The six passengers - kids and grownups - look like they've just heard some really good news. Also check out the S-motif hood emblem.
