No offence, but it's more like a photo of the GTO with you in the foreground

My dad used to do this. We’re in the photo, but his car was always in the background. Began to realize we were the props for the car. And yes, in the sixties and seventies he was a Pontiac man.

If I had to guess I would say my mother or grandmother took the photo. Can't remember my dad ever taking a picture when I was a kid.

That is emphatically NOT a stock GTO. And there's nothing wrong with that.

It's a 1964 GTO with chromed reversed wheels. Other than the wheels it looks pretty much stock.

You look like a happy kid. I also love the muscle car in the background.

Hopefully that GTO is still around, that pic screams "I'm a black GTO!" lol. Chrome reverse wheels where the thing then and now. As a late 60's born kid with a dad and uncles who had cars with them. I find myself building period correct looking muscle cars with them, and the occasional five Rader or Supreme spoke mags or slotted Ansen's if I can find them.

In Chapter 2 of the 'NEW DADS HANDBOOK', P.3, paragraph 2, it clearly states: "Upon attaining fatherhood with the birth of a child, the new father is required to divest himself of any & all sporty cars, motorcycles, jet skis, or other items that are used for fun or enjoyment, & must, within 3 months of the child's birth, purchase a station wagon, van, or other vehicle which may be used by the woman of the household!

That car is tops.

If you didn't know, there's people who do photoshop work to remove things like the creases in this photo. My uncle used to do it, it can be really amazing.

This one's in pretty good shape though, probably not worth.

Your dad probably has a secret second family.

Dude this pic isn’t about you. It’s the car mate. You’re just there 🤷🏽‍♂️ for cuteness 😂
