Thank you for the TTAC bump! It’s my first piece for Insider Louisville in 2015, having written for the online publication since February 2013.
Anyway, you should all give IL your eyeballs, especially if you’re curious about what all goes on in my old Kentucky home.
And don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about you, dearest B&B. Plans are in the works for my return to these pages sooner rather than later. ;)
Well written, Cameron!
It’s easy for us to look at GM vehicles from this period and default to Bill Mitchell, glossing over the considerable talent Mitchell had under him. Your article shines a light on a man who obviously deserves more credit than he’s received to this point!
And extra points for the ultra-rare grill with the headlights. These did exist in 1968/69 although obviously taking a backseat to the far-more common – and more dynamic – hidden-headlight versions.
Looking forward to your TTAC return…btw did you get your license?
Thank you, and thank my editor Sarah Kelley for massaging the copy to be its best!
As for the license, those are part of said plans for my return to TTAC.
Still working on making it happen. We’ll get there.
Great article about Bill Porter in Insider Louisville! As an auto enthusiast in Louisville it’s great to see another voice in our community writing about cars. I had no idea on of the TTAC authors was here in the city.
I actually don’t live in Louisville these days; moved to Seattle nearly two years ago this September. However, I still keep in touch with my family and the friends I’ve made — including those in the city’s journalism scene — over the six years I did call Louisville my Kentucky home.
Also: I was born in Louisville nearly 37 years ago this September; moved to Kansas a month after.
Great to see more excellent writing, Cameron. Thanks to Mark for posting it.
Thank you! It was an honor to listen to Porter speak about his life and career.
