Default Pontiac Journal Sneak Peek - Holiday 2009

The Pontiac Journal
Holiday 2009 The Pontiac Journal - A Performance Years Newsletter Volume 7 - Issue 1

BIG CHANGES AT PY


This past year has been a very busy year for us at Performance Years. 2009 was a whirl-wind of new projects and products. Plus, from the looks of things, we're not goting to see an end, any time soon.

In the Spring, we were happy to see many months of labor pay off when we introduced our new Performance Years Show Trailer. It is our biggest PY Trailer yet and allows us to take more products to Pontiac car shows and events than ever before. We also put a lot of effort in re-designing graphics for the new trailer. You can't miss it when it hits the road. Plus, because of the new trailer, we've added several shows to our schedule in order to reach more of our customers. Have a look at our schedule, we might be visiting your area.

This Summer, we took a good hard look at our inventory and the reproduction products we make. The final conclusion is, we want to have MORE!! If you paid attention to the New GTO, Tempest & Lemans and New Firebird & TransAm catalogs we released this Summer, you probably noticed a ton of new reproductions that have become available. Well, that was just the beginning. There is a list of products that are currently in the works, below.

Earlier this month, we completed a year-long project that will make all of you G-body Grand Prix fans happy. That project is the FIRST EVER Performance Years G-body Grand Prix catalog. We included all the products for 1969-77 that we could get our hands on and packed as much detailed information into it as we could. Read the full announcement below for all of the juicy details.

Now, we see two things on the immediate horizon. First, is the resurrection of the Performance Years B-body Fullsize Pontiac Catalog. This catalog hasn't been updated in several years but the recent and near-future in-flux of new reproduction parts makes a new catalog necessary. The Fullsize catalog will get an upgrade from black & white to color and brought up to the same quality as our GTO, Firebird and G-body catalogs. Stay tuned for more details.

The second project in our immediate future is a move to a new location. We are planning to move Performance Years to an all new location, a few miles down the road from our current home. This move will mean easier access from the PA turnpike and other major roads, a real show room, more warehouse space for our growing inventory and more office space for our growing staff. Read the article below for pictures and additional details. We are also offering a bunch of special discounts on nearly everything we have in stock. Help make our move a little easier and save money at the same time, check out the discounts here.

We hope you enjoy reading this issue and if you have any comments, questions, articles or article ideas, please feel free to send us a note at Pontiacjournal@performanceyears.com.

  PY INTRODUCES FIRST EVER: GRAND PRIX CATALOG


The Performance Years Catalog Department has been working tirelessly for months to bring a brand new resource to Pontiac Grand Prix fans. The result is a FIRST EVER G-body Grand Prix catalog and covers the years from 1969 to 1977. Who else loves Grand Prix's so much that they would create a GRAND PRIX ONLY CATALOG?!

A great amount of effort was put into researching the products we put in this new catalog. There are many parts that we've sold to GTO owners for years that also fit certain Grand Prix models. Plus we discovered many parts that will fit and work on a Grand Prix. We've taken great pains to include the results of our research under each of the appropriate parts.

Our new Grand Prix catalog is 96 pages of GP products and information. We've packed over 1000 full-color pictures in those pages to make identifying and purchasing products easier. You'll also find a complete list of the new products we are currently reproducing and the product we plan to reproduce in the near future.

Until the print catalogs arrive from our printer at the end of November, 2009, you have two ways to get a copy of this catalog:

Anyone who wants a print-copy of this brand new catalog mailed out to them, can request a copy here. The first mailing should leave our offices in PA during the last week in November.

Anyone who doesn't want to wait for their mail carrier to drop a GP catalog in their mailbox, can download the digital (pdf) version here.

Our goal during this project was to make this catalog an invaluable resource for all of the 1969-77 Grand Prix owners. We are always striving to improve the quality of our catalogs. A huge factor we take into account with each new issue is the feedback we get from our customers. If you have a chance, send us your ideas and comments. Your comments can help to make the next volume, that much better.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
