Hello from Russia!
Can I quote a post in your blog with the link to you?

That hood tachometer is so cool. One of the criticisms by sports auto enthusiasts when car makers (like GM in this instance) mounted a tach on the hood was that when a driver slammed the hood shut, the impact would sometimes jar the tachometer's sensitive innards. Purists deemed this a risk that one's hood mounted tach might quickly lose its accuracy. Some 20 years ago I helped a guy I know, a mechanic, in the process of restoring a '70 Grand Prix. He claimed I recall that this model boasted the longest hood in domestic automotive history. One can find a Grand Prix grill attached I think to the drum riser in a Prince album. I forget the album (Sign O the Times?) and I think the Grand Prix fascia was more like a '73's.

Great pic, man.

"The way we were" - Pure nostalgia! Love it! This beauty reveals how far down the ladder America has fallen! The foreign stuff on the streets today, and the crap GM(America) foists on us nowadays just does not compare!Want to see the fate of the fine Americans that built these beauties? SEE: http://uprooted.jessicareeder.com/2009/09/detroit-and-the-100-dollar-house/comment-page-1/#comment-3003 This is where they used to live proud Middle Class Union protected , happy lives! Thank Bush and his free trade neo-cons for the difference and the growth in the number of billionaires in America today! Was it worth it? Perhaps to the Uber-Rich few, certainly not to the dying nation we behold today! Dollar almost worthless on world markets, Industry migrations to Asian factories, slums and poverty growing in America , schopols rated 32nd in world, "unemployables" roaming the streets, drug addiction, STD's alcoholism, poverty, crime. all sharply up and almost a way of life for a new generation of sleeze in America! Trillions goven to bail dishonest Wall Street "businessmen" while the fabric of society, the "Working Class" is torn to shreds! America: Third World at best in some areas, Detroit City a modern-day Johannessburg, see truth for yourself: http://uprooted.jessicareeder.com/2009/09/detroit-and-the-100-dollar-house/comment-page-1/#comment-3003 and weep! Corporatism has left us this scare, not a monument to Capitalism, but a rubble, like the Soviets left in the former U.S.S.R. goddammit! Eight years of Repuglicans bull shit, we can't even buy an Oldsmobile in America, only Jap crap with Chinese built parts! Even the mighty GM(America) sells trucks with Chinese imported engines! I want the days of the Pontiac Grand Prix back! and badly! P.S. they don't make the Olds 422 anymore either! I feel raped!

Nine times out of ten the problems with Capitalism can be traced to Big Government meddling.
