Now that is a name I hadn't heard in a long, long time. How did she escape my mind.
Now,, in Cincinnati the twin towers of a certain corporation are referred to singularly -- the Dolly Parton building. They stick up quite prominently.
I had also forgotten Chevy had little ones compared to Cadillac's. The one Olds had were more oval. Buicks were round but not so prominent. How did Pontiac escape the styling trend? Of course, the competition, Ford, had some and even did the circus trick of putting three on the front. Some enterprising guys put a light in the center one (or could you order them that way?).
I'm going back to look for that bus. I have all 15 minutes saved to disk.
