I'm not a car expert, but this looks like a Pontiac...like the Grand Prix (Can Am?) front or similar.

I was 19 and I was in that crowd somewhere.

What was the giveaway that it was a Pontiac? Was it the Pontiac emblem in middle of the grill? j/k But seriously that thing looks like a boat.

Tlong...you are too funny...Most of the posters in here were not even born yet are infatuated with the old car...LMAO....

Say that is a cool car....looks like my Grandfathers 1942 Cristcraft...did it run on gas...did it hold like 40 people & did the whole team ride in it for the parade....I think I have read about those cars in my science class....They caused global warming....

Mo Lucas could have been if other teams had pressed charges. He was one bad man and one of the least mentioned of the great Power Forwards.

I have heard stories of the great Portland team that shocked the world...That was back when Ted Williams was still playing baseball, I think...

We beat Chicago with Artis Gilmore and Norm Van Lier in the 1st round.
We beat Denver with Dan Issel in the 2nd round.
We beat the Lakers with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the conference finals.
We beat the Sixers with Dr. J, George McGinnis, World B. Free, and Darryl Dawkins in the Finals.
Maybe the best playoff run in NBA history.

Tlong...I thought they were kidding.... :lol

One of the saddest days for Coach Wooden was the day he came down and had to bail me out of jail after I got arrested in the anti-Vietnam protest. He said, 'Bill, I know you feel very strongly about this, but I just don't think that you getting arrested and taking part in this demonstration is what it's all about," says Bill Walton on ESPN Classic's SportsCentury series.

Luke was a MUTHA! I am fortunate to know him now.
