I also ran across this one recently, at Plymouth's Fall Festival, and was intrigued by not only the color combination, which was quite a sight, believe me, but by it's use of a 421 "Ringer" motor, as described by one of the Godfathers of the Pontiac GTO, former adman Jim Wangers. Wangers talks in his book Glory Days, http://www.amazon.com/Glory-Days-Horsepower-Passion-Detroit/dp/0837602084 about a series of 421-cubic-inch Pontiac V-8s with 389-cubic-inch casting marks--a real coup of 60s-Detroit "Skunk Works" mentality. Anyway, check it out.

1965 Pontiac GTO Hardtop "Rare" Iris Mist Exterior - Black Vinyl Top - Parchment Interior 1965 421 - Tripower - Four Speed Wood Wheel, Dash Pad, PS, PB, AM/FM, Rally Gauges Original Lavender Tinted Windows, NOS plum floor mats, Rally I Wheels Vin-2373752127843

And, believe it or not, it's not the only one like this out there; I saw another listing of a convertible in the same (insert your own judgment here) shade, in Jay Leno's Garage.

Of as much interest to me was this gorgeous shot of a leviathan Continental Mark II from the mid-50s. (these weren't Lincoln Continentals, just Continentals; the Lincoln name was added with the advent of the Mark III in 1968.) The ragtop Mark IIs were created by Hess & Eisenhardt, who have built presidential limousines and convertible conversions since Lord-knows-when.

Of equal interest to me, (although nearly forgotten about as a vehicle,) was Detroit Lions owner William Clay Ford's personal Continental Mk II, done up in the team colors of Honolulu Blue and Silver. Over the years, Ford's Mk II was "updated," with improvements like a 460-cubic-inch V-8 and 4-wheel disc brakes. How it pays to be family, huh?

This, by the way, is a photo of the die-cast version of the car; if anyone ever chose to be so generous, I certainly wouldn't turn such a gift down, hint, hint.....that, or the previously mentioned Audi TT or Aston Martin mobile phones.
