“Hello, Dolly!” by Louis Armstrong debuted on the Billboard singles chart at #76, for the week ending, February 15, 1964. The Armstrong single would make its eventual climb to the top — for one week only — having knocked off the Beatles’ five-week hold on the #1 spot with their hit, “Can’t Buy Me Love”, beginning May 3 through week-ending May 9.
An astounding 22 weeks on the pop singles chart, “Hello, Dolly!” dropped to #44 on its last week on Billboard, week-ending July 11, 1964.

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.
