The Day Pontiac Died

[BlackJackAce]

The Bonneville was the only car my wife would drive. We had 5 that ranged in model years 1992 to 2005. It was hard for her to move on to another model but it's been over 10 years now and she's doing fine.

They were in fact a great driving and smooth riding cars.

Die hard Mopar fan here, but Pontiac was the only GM brand I would ever consider owning...

Had a neighbor that worked at Cowan Motors Chrysler Dealership in Cartersville Ga. bought his daughter one of these just like it.

My all-time favorite American cars are GM A-body cars from 1968 to 1972, these cars had the ultimate combination of good looks, an excellent heavy duty suspension and cubic inches under the hood.

Don’t see a lot of later era Pontiacs still on the road. Almost like they weren’t very reliable. Not sure.

Mine had an automatic trans and looked exactly like this one.

I have an 89 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am. It ran a 7.79 in the 1/8th at Paradise a few weeks before I broke the crank in half. I'm in the process of building it back with lots of new goodies. Should be good for mid to high 6's in the 1/8th. This car is a real sleeper, is very quiet, and looks stock from the outside. It goes straight well, and will take the curves too. This one will be staying in the family a long time.

The biggest obstacle to Pontiac being competitive wasn’t Ford or Chrysler, it was GM corporate management because they didn't want Pontiac to outshine and outperform Chevrolet
