The Judge GTO Ballpark Slouch Hat by American Needle

The Pontiac 'The Judge' GTO is an automobile that was manufactured by American automobile manufacturer Pontiac from the 1964 to 1974 model years. The first generation of the GTO was the first muscle car produced in the 1960s and the 1970s. The Pontiac GTO is considered by some to have started the trend with all four domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models. A new model called "The Judge" was introduced. The name came from a comedy routine, "Here Come de Judge", used repeatedly on the Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In TV show. The Judge routine, made popular by comedian Flip Wilson, was borrowed from the act of long-time burlesque entertainer Dewey "Pigmeat" Markham. Advertisements used slogans like "All rise for the Judge" and "The Judge can be bought". What do you drive on your way to the Stadium?
