THE 1969 PONTIAC ‘JUDGE’ GTO
As the above dated chart implies, CKLW gave away a pair of 1969 Pontiac GTOs!
If you look closely, in the cover photo, you can see ‘The Judge’ badge on the front quarter panel, placed near the covered headlamps, and just in front of where Ed Mitchell is leaning on the passenger side.
In the Pontiac Motor Division’s ‘The Judge’ series, the GTO offered a rare RAM AIR IV 370 HP engine in 1969. According to the website Sports Car Market, Pontiac produced and sold 58,126 GTO hardtops, 7,328 GTO convertibles, 6,725 Judge hard tops (two ‘Judge’ models CKLW gave away) and 108 Judge convertibles were built by the end of that model year.
In 1969, the first year run of its production, the Pontiac “Judge” GTO hardtop commanded a pricey 3,500 dollars, equipped with the speedy RAM AIR IV engine. It’s mark-up value, having been debated by collectors, the rare 1969 ‘Judge’ Pontiac GTO has been sold at auctions, having taken bids totaling upwards of 300,000 dollars — for an original with numbers matching – just for the hard top.
Decades later, the more extremely rare ‘Judge’ convertibles have sold at auto auctions with numbers upwards over the half-million dollar mark. The Pontiac ‘Judge” GTO models were built in 1969, 1970, and 1971.

A most unusual (if all but a rare) CKLW music chart from May 29, 1967. Strawberry Fields? Found this CKLW survey some time ago. Would like to know more behind this CKLW chart from 1967.
By May of 1967, the CKLW Hit Parader or Fun Radio charts were already in circulation, having been distributed to record retail outlets at that time.
Just thinking here, a wild guess — note Gary Mitchell — could it be the 1967 CKLW jocks were appointed a given chart week tabulating the CKLW top 30 hits with a DJ’s name on them?
But of course, we never came across a CKLW radio chart like this one! Feedback, anyone? Feel free dropping us your thoughts and comments. 🙂
