Just got a new JCWhitney catalog today. It has a 67 convertable on the cover. I don't recall ever seeing a Pontiac on the cover of JCW.

More 1st Gen recognition.
I had not heard the name JCWhitney in years. I should order a catalog. If I remember, once you do it's like Eastwood or Toolmart. You get a catalog a week for years.
A little trivia: Back in the 60's they were known as Warshawky. You could go to their store/warehouse on the south side of Chicago or order from the Warshawky catalog.

Calahan Brake Shoes and Zalinski Auto parts... Yeah... I kind of like Tommy Boy!  Hey Bill, I just sold my 5 year old carpet from my car to a guy in Cedar Rapids, with a Blue 68 Drop Top. Two Tone white & Blue interior. Seems like a really good guy... But I know he has to be about 80+ miles from you... but thought I'd mention it! Brett!

I bet I haven't bought more than 3 or 4 items from them in the last 10yrs yet I get a catalog about every 2 months. What really get me laughing is they put $3.99 on the cover. I would like to meet just one person that has ever paid for a JCW catalog. HA!

If you don't buy something in about 10 years, they start sending catalogs that say it's the last catalog unless you order something. These come for several more years but eventually they do stop.
