1964 Pontiac Grand Prix

The 1964 Grand Prix is one of the best-looking and most impressive Pontiacs ever. And it has nice wheels that are tucked a bit too far into the body. In many senses we are well rid of such excess. I understood that most Americans have big cars. The 1963 and 1965 Grand Prix models had visors over the stacked headlamps, but the 1964 has elegantly “frenched” lamps without excrescent, drag-producing elements. On this Grand Prix, the whole upper structure is pure, both classical and elegant. The overall look is insistently American, but the reverse curve at the leading and trailing edges of the rear pillars and the concave backlight refer to British knife-edge designs. Mitchell made a lot of use of “windsplits,” which he likened to creases in a well-pressed suit. There is one down the middle of the hood, one on each front fender, and a swelling version on the side of the rear fender, enlivening the simple side panels.

Wadi Warayah


Wadi Waryah is a marvelous area where more than 100 species of birds and other animals can be found. It is 169 sq km between the towns of Masafi, Khor Fakkan and Bidiyah. Wadi Waryah is recommended as a must-see in UAE off-road and tourist guides. It is one of the few remaining places in the world where the endangered Arabian Oryx still roams free. The wadi is also home to a type of rare fresh water fish. However, there is a protection plan to take care of this area. Staff from the Ministry of the Environment and Water patrol daily and their main concern is to protect it from illegal fishing and to prevent the extinction of endangered species.
