The Pontiac Picture Thread - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I promised picture threads for more GM Divisions, and I've delivered with my fourth -- Pontiac! Here's a 1980 Pontiac Turbo Trans Am Indianapolis 500 Pace Car.

Here's Pontiac's newest sport sedan, the G6!

What's a Pontiac picture thread without a Fiero picture?

Introduced in the fall of 1983 as a 1984 model (this one's an '85), the Fiero was an instant sensation and seemingly destined to become the classic the Corvette already was for Chevrolet. But Pontiac never got enough support from GM to keep the Fiero alive, and by 1988 it was gone. Too bad: It was a fine car, and it didn't cost that much either. The Japanese, of course, ended up dominating the low-buck two seat sports car market because GM was too lazy.

A 1970 Pontiac Catalina sedan!

The legendary Pontiac Cheiftain! This is a 1954 model.

Pontiac got its name from an Ottawa Indian chief who hoped to drive the white man out of what is now Ohio and Michigan. Er, uh, he didn't quite succeed.

Pontiac Bonneville

Here is a 1970 Pontiac GTO with a big 455-cu-in engine. Tons of torque here! If I owned this car, the rear tires would last about 3 months!

The 1966 Pontiac Le Mans Tempest convertible!

I just got back from the weekly car gathering. There was a nice '66 or '67 Pontiac GTO. (It was already dark, so I'm not sure of the year.) It looks similar to the one above except it wasn't a convertible.
I watched it leave; the owner obviously enjoys the engine in the car... he pulled out into the street, accelerates moderately, then either shifts into 2nd or just backs off, then floors it. The car left two 20-foot rubber strips on the road! The engine sounded very healthy. From what I saw, I would guess it's a 12-second car (1/4 mile).

A 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am!

It just says, "Outta my way, punk!"

Steve M. · 10-01-2005, 08:02 PM

Yes, this is a Pontiac!

The 1976 Astre, Pontiac's twin to the Chevrolet Vega. Exactly why Pontiac needed to sell its own version of one of the worst cars ever developed has never been sufficiently explained.

Right... now that is a Bonneville!

And here's a Pontiac that few people have ever seen. The 1960 Polaris. If you think it looks like a Corvair, there's a good reason for that at this link:
