Very cool thread, love all the vintage pics. Funny thing, I've been through about 3/4ths of it so far and was thinking the same thing. In fact, I've seen more 73-77 Pontiac LeManses here than 78-81s. I know Buick, Chevy, and Olds all outsold Pontiac even counting the GPs in, but you'd think there would be more "back in the day" photos.

Thanks man! These vintage shots are a little hard to come by but I'm posting every one of them for y'all.

SCRTD Heavy Traffic RTD_1131_06 by Metro Transportation Library and Archive, on Flickr

This photo is both cool and kind of sad to look at. In the front, there is a Toyota, Mazda, and Honda; across the intersection there is a Datsun (Nissan). In fact, there are 28 vehicles in the picture and 12 I can identify for sure are imports. What is sad is this is just after America car build quality got so bad it opened the door for the imports. It is cool because of the type of imports (yes, there are VW Bugs), they're not just economy cars, I see a Honda Prelude, Datsun 280Z, Mazda RX-7, and Toyota Celica Supra.

I also see a Camaro, Pinto, Pinto wagon (I think), a two door Caprice (Impala?), Mercury Capri, and of course the Regal....
