Many a Pontiac have seen the tail lights of my Dodge.....
Not much muscle in that brand of “muscle”car..

Amazing what happens to a company when it doesn't make products that people want to buy... they get a taxpayer bailout.
I wish I could sell "my" GM and Chrysler stock.

If I were in charge of GM, I’d keep Chevy, Cadillac, dump GMC, Buick............ the unions and Obama.

I remember when Pontiac was quite the cat’s meow, back in the early sixties.
It was the favorite of rich kids that had their own car.

It was undone by the U.S. Government after they took a majority share of GM. The UAW bleeding the company dry had nothing to do with it, of course.

When I was growing up an older guy down the street bought a ‘64 GTO. A completely un-PC classic. Solid lifter cam, 389 with three two barrels, Hurst shifter - all factory. He treated it like a baby. Five years later he got married and offered to sell it to me for $900. By then there were monsters like 375hp/396 Cameros around I wasn't interested.
Famous mistake #103.

GTO was an awesome ride back in my day. We can spin it like this:
Commie Rat thug unions and politicians killed a great brand, a great traditions, and a great American company.

Once upon a time ... my brother owned the "GOAT" and the SS was mine.
Those really were fun times.

And shoddy manufacturing practices.
But if your line workers are boozing and doping on their lunch hours...
no shock there.

I had an ‘84 Firebird when I was in highschool. I don’t claim to know a thing about cars. All I can tell you is that I absolutely LOVED driving that car. 20 years and 5 kids later, I’m now in a great big conversion van. Oh, how I miss that Firebird!!! :o)

My dad bought a new 1969 Pontiac Le Mans. It was in the shop more than any other car that he ever had.

Should have been killed off decades ago.. taking a generic everyday car, and slapping a nose grill and a bunch of plastic flares does not a brand make.
Pontiact has been other than a gasp of air here and there, irrellevant since the 70s.
