Title: TGP ketchup anyone
Post by: manifoldsrme on January 06, 2011, 06:27:52 PM
So I bought a black TGP for parts a few months back. I took the passenger side door panel off and the factory plastic moisture barrier was completely intact, never been removed. I removed it and what do I find in the bottom of the door? A burger king ketchup packet with the date 1990 on it! Apparently this is proof positive that line workers at the time were fans of the king. I still have it if anyone needs any TGP ketchup for their car. I will Also have a ton of great parts for sale once I get mine restored and repainted in the spring.  :icon_cool:

In the spring I will get a good picture of it. I threw it back in the door bottom. The car is covered up and buried in snow right now.

Most of you know that my 89 was hit in the rear back in 09. While I was completing the repairs I found that it has been autographed by someone.

What even prompted this reply? I'm failing to see anything about his post that could be taken the wrong way.

Fred was one the guy that mentioned Kentucky to begin with...and I'm not sure where that came from either. The GM-10 plant for Pontiac Grand Prix's was in Fairfax, Kansas. ;)

Nope, it was definitely Kansas.
