It was a reliable part of the family for 10 years until it was given to one of my aunts.

The car was a two-tone edition in light and dark blue and featured an all-chrome jet airplane/spaceship as a hood ornament. Here is a picture showing that configuration as well as me and my older sister and her friend before the first day of grade school in September, 1959.

I happily have this year Pontiac in diecast in scale and they are real prized replicas.
