Anyone Like Old Money Clips and Old Cars? Look Inside for a Promo Pontiac Money Clip

Rampage

I picked this one up a couple of days ago. The local shop was going to take the Morgan out and throw the clip away, so I decided to save it. The very first car I ever had was a Pontiac. I miss that car. Anyway, here she is...what do you think?

Edited: I tried looking these things up on the internet, but cannot find anything about them. I did, however, find one that sold on eBay in early December that has a 1922 Peace dollar in it, though.

That's Pontiac's original logo so that was probably a brand new coin when that was made. Thank you for saving it!

One of these days I will buy me a Star Chief. If not that, then a Chevy Bel Aire. I love both of those cars.

Same here! A Grand Prix. Loaded, including electric wing windows. Huge deep dish tilting wood wheel. 'Reverbophonic' radio - the rear speaker sound was delayed a fraction of a second.

Had 'Electro-Cruise'. A knob on the speedometer allowed you to change the speed control setpoint. I loved passing people with the turn of a knob.

Sad that I sold it, but wound up only driving it once a month or so - was too afraid it would get dinged up or swiped.

I loved that car.

The high beam indicator light was shaped like the Indian chief in the OP's money clip.

VERY Cool! Good job saving that! I've had a couple of 58s... in my pre-Madoff days.

That is a neat piece. I like car/coin items. I believe the Indian Head logo was used until the early 1950s.

Here is my Pontiac (1977 Catalina Safari wagon with 400-4bbl V8, bored and stroked to 465 cubic inches )

That's a very cool item! I'm glad you saved it.

Nice ride dcarr. I rode alot of miles in a '77 Grand Prix.
They don't make 'em like that anymore.

Good save, I pulled one out of belt buckle a few years ago.. the buckle was crap. Cheers, RickO

A customer (and friend) is going to Las Vegas this month to pick up a Super Duty 421 that came out of a 1962 Catalina in 1964!

I'm restoring my 1957 Chevy 2 dr hardtop and hope to get it back on the road this year.

Maybe I'll sell a few plated Chapman's or Woodward's to finish it up.

From a car guy thanks for saving that. Worth much more than melt!

Love the Catalina Safari!!!!!!!

Thanks all. Glad you all like it. You are correct, it is worth much more than melt, purely from a history of US automobile standpoint.

That's a fun item! Good on you for saving it.

Great money clip from a line that is now gone. I remember when my Dad came home in a new '55, later bought a '59 and finally a '60 Bonneville convertible, I think it cost more than a Caddy . It was a boat, we drove it from Boston to San Francisco, took it on a ship to Honolulu, and sold it after we found out what the price of gas in Hawaii was (I think about 35 centa a gallon).
That is a very cool piece, I love automobilia.
