Thanks to David E. Knoop MD and Venice C. Knoop from New Jersey for this 1968 or 1969 Pontiac. The ID number was 252469P183200, an old auto insurance policy says 1969.

"We had five kids and had this Pontiac Stageway built for our family and named it "The Ark," since it could carry at least two of everything. With three doors on each side, each kid had a window and a seatbelt. Of course we could put additional kids and stuff in the back. We had power windows all the way around and a specially constructed luggage rack on top. I believe the rack was an aluminum Chrysler product. We added the "wood" trim. As you can see, with the "wood" trim and whitewalls it was a beauty".

"The policy lists it as a 340HP Pontiac 8 purchased 02/69 at a cost of $8400. It had power windows and power door locks for all 6 doors. If I recall, this was the first time Stageway installed the power door locks on a stretch, and they did not quite figure it out correctly so they installed an extra switch. I forget whether they finally got it right".

"We eventually gave it to Morristown Memorial Hospital (where I had pediatric privileges) and it was used to transport medical students from Physicians and Surgeons (Columbia University Medical School). Later still we bought it back from the Hospital and it was garaged in our barn for several years. We gave or sold it to one of my patients who was going to restore it. I am trying to track it from there".
