FOCUS ON...PONTIAC

After 84 years, Pontiac officially stopped production of vehicles yesterday. Whether or not you actually owned a Pontiac, I am sure that you fantasized about one. My favorite has always been the 1967 GTO. The Trans Am was probably the favorite of at least a few of you. Starting today, all Pontiac models are a symbol of our youth - when case prices where under a dollar a gallon and mufflers rusted out every few years. So long Little GTO!
