Thumbs up All Pontiac & GMC Truck Day 2019 is November 10 in Tucson, Arizona

All Pontiac & GMC Truck Day 2019 - Tucson, AZ
is the Arizona Chapter POCI's (Pontiac-Oakland Club, International) largest event, held every-other year in central Tucson.
YOU'RE INVITED, so save the date!

THIS EVENT IS FREE...
PRE-REGISTER NOW!

This event is a FREE, FUN, NON-JUDGED car and truck display and membership drive. It is open to both current club members and to prospective members and guests to display their "road warrior" (unfinished/project cars) and/or show-quality Pontiacs/Oaklands/GMC Trucks.

ALL MODELS / ALL YEARS of Pontiacs, Oaklands & GMC Trucks — regardless of condition or appearance, stock or modified — are welcomed here! Come hang out with fellow enthusiasts. No judging, no classes, no attitudes... Just relax and have fun in a picturesque, shaded parking area!

In past years, we've had some amazing Pontiacs and GMCs on display... Everything from a cool classic 1937 GMC Cabover COE Semi Truck to an electric-powered 1985 Trans Am to late-model Solstice and G8 GXPs ...plus plenty of full-size classic Pontiacs, Fieros, Grand Prixs, muscular GTOs, LeMans, Firebirds and more Wide-Trackin' excitement!

Please note that this year's event will again be held on a SUNDAY. Here are the details:

If you cannot stay for the entire four-hour event, you will be asked to park outside of our reserved, designated display area.

ELIGIBLE VEHICLES
This event is limited to those vehicles which promote the Pontiac, Oakland, or GMC Truck brands only. This also means NO CHEVY Trucks or other GM-built vehicles will be permitted.

FREE LUNCH!
All current and new members of the Arizona Chapter POCI will be treated to a FREE picnic lunch. Join the chapter during the event and enjoy a complimentary lunch on us!

T-SHIRTS
A small run of collectible, limited edition T-Shirts will be offered by Pre-Order only. Our full-color design features a 1939 GMC pickup and a 1969 GTO Judge, celebrating their 80th and 50th anniversaries respectively. To order your shirt, download the Pre-Registration Form from our website (www.TucsonMotorama.com) and complete the appropriate section.

Pre-ordered shirts will be available to pick up at the event. Additional shirts will NOT be available to purchase at the event. Don't miss out... you gotta act now!

THREE SPECIAL AWARDS
There are NO trophies presented at All Pontiac & GMC Truck Day, but THREE VEHICLES will be singled-out at the end of the day for special recognition:

• The "Golden Jackstand" recognizes one vehicle (any year) in attendance with "promise and potential." Push, pull or drag it there on a trailer... We really do wanna see what you've got!
• The "Bill Armstrong Memorial" recognizes one modified or customized vehicle (any year) which is built to suit its owner's personal taste and unique vision.
• The "Ross Whitehead Memorial" recognizes one significant (pre-1964) car or truck which epitomizes enthusiasm for the Pontiac-Oakland-GMC Truck hobby.
