Since joining this fine organization and crew, I have been much more enthusiatic to get a few thing done on my TA. So i was digging through some of my Pontiac type yack, and came across the jacket that i was given when i bought the TA. This jacket was like gold.. the sales dude telling me that only TA owners were given this fine Pontiac jacket! I remember thinking it was quite the status for the time....LOL...memebers only style, black with a white embroidered Pontiac on the left crest side and the embroidered Bird on the right crest side, and just how i fit in that thing...ahh..yea not anymore! The jacket has many a road trips, but it wore well for it's day! Anyhow memories, oh and then they came out with that shiney red one with the Trans Am going down the sleeve..No i didn't get one of those, no loss of sleep! Thumbs up

Wow i'm definatley hanging on to it, it has seen some miles, parties, disco's (yea i know)!! beer spills were an easy clean.. Very Happy

With the members-only David Hasselhoff jacket. Laughing

Probably worth some money to some 80's guys though.

I remember seeing that jacket in my owners manual, it's listed as something you can get aftermarket from the pontiac dealer.
I never met anyone who has one tho! lol

Yeah, when Bart bought his T/A from Pauly(#1), it came with a jacket like that. Size XS, which was just perfect for the Bartimus Maximus.

That jacket's pretty sweet. Did they ever make one for Camaro owners?

It's great to hear the opinions, some are just comedy!! Jake with the shizzle made my day of laughs!! On the camro, my buddy had an I-Rock he bought new in 84?? and he too had a jacket that had chevy on one side and the IROCK logo on the other! same style....pre David Hasselhoff....LOL... Very Happy

Anyhow i pulled that jacket out the relic bin and had to post it too see what kind of consensus was there, so far so good! So Enjoy, whenever i meet you guys just look for the jacket..LOL...I don't think i can squeek that thing on if i had too! 25years later..Yea right..LOL Down the hatch
