Lots of racing history with Royal Pontiac and there's this bit of history. https://www.hagerty.com/media/car-profiles/royal-pontiac/ Kind of a GM version of Grand Spaulding Dodge, but a few years earlier.

We covered this Frank LLoyd Wright station on the very first page of this thread. The pics were contemporary, and I just found some pics that I would say are early 80's.
