That was about the same time I dropped out of the POCI since they didn't want us GTO owners anymore. Might have to revisit joining since all those members probably passed away by now.

Congrats!

Congratulations.

All together I have been a member about 30 years but not consecutively. After putting on the 1995 convention some of us had some differences of opinion with POCI.

Just got my 30 year.tom

35 year pin for me this year

thepontiacman 01-26-2026 02:20 PM

Thanks!

Congrats to others who got pins for membership.

unruhjonny 01-26-2026 02:54 PM

congrats! :)

I dropped out before I could get my first pin, because the yearly cost, and benefits were unjustifiable;
I really liked SS, but when relooking at our monthly budget, it just needed to get axed.

sdbob 01-26-2026 03:53 PM

Got my 45 yr pin.

Good to see all you long haulers.
I have my 35 on my desk, have to wait until next year for 40

My 40 year pin also came in the mail last week. I joined in when I was 18 years old, shortly after I bought a 77 Can Am. Seems like yesterday!

I joined in 1991 or 1992 (I was 15 or 16), been a member since and have never seen anything other than smoke signals. Do you have to request them? I probably wouldn’t do anything with it though.

Steve Barcak 01-27-2026 10:26 AM

I joined in '79 so, that makes 47 years now. Back then the month mag was black and white

wow - that would piss me off.

Now I'm glad I didn't hang in for the ten year mark!

I left years ago, i think I got a lousy decal, I tried to get a new copy at the Pontiac museum but they couldn’t find the new issues.
I took one of their stickers and made a grill badge at work, ended up selling it at Dayton. Prob costed 1000 $ when it was done lol
They should give you a nice grill badge instead of a pin.
One of their meets I asked about getting a grill badge, he said you gotta have a nice car, I said or a screwdriver:fencing:

Jeff Hamlin 01-28-2026 06:18 AM

The Grill Badge is nice!
Only available if you attend and place at a convention/show.
