Pictures from Fremont Assembly Plant, 1964
« on: December 03, 2009, 02:07:48 PM »
There is a great thread on the Performance Years (Pontiac) site....
Fremont's first year of operation was in 1964. Buicks, Olds and Pontiacs were built on the same line!

Walt,

I've got to have these pictures for this site!     :blob7:

I'm assuming you are a member on that other site and if you are is there any chance you could get that guy to send you some nice quality scans (vs. photos) of these pages?

I've been looking for a while for some actual production line photos and had almost given up hope that they even existed.

This is an awesome find in my opinion... THANK YOU FOR SHARING!

Look at the width of those tires! No wonder drum brakes were ok in the day. I remember when I bought the my first set of wide-ovals, they were cool. Radials were for those funny imports and not to be mixed with bias ply tires, it was considered dangerous (probably still is). Those narrow bias ply tires were much easier to turn than radials, no power steering required.
