One of my best friends in elementary school had a father who was a Pontiac gearhead. He drove a teal colored ("Fontaine Blue", IIRC) '65 GTO and the "grocery getter" that his wife drove was a '67 Tempest in that great dark red, sort of a black cherry color. That was the first home garage that I'd seen with engine hoist and such - he did a lot of his own work and was always tinkering.
Pontiac was an Awesome car company.
Even their sedans were frigging muscle cars... they had Lion Hearts under the hood.
Just another good thing gone.
