Dear Speed,

First let me thank you for the coverage you are giving the collector car hobby with your broadcasts from the Barrett Jackson auction. It's great to see the cars of our youth and our dreams cross the block and receive the attention they deserve - which brings me to my point.

Pontiacs are conspicuously absent from your broadcasts.

I understand the economics of television and I'm sure you want to show every car, but you have to "pay the light bill".....however, last night, during your first night of coverage, not a single Pontiac crossed the block during coverage. The most notable (and desirable) being the 71 Judge - I waited hours for Lot 100 to come up, wanted to see your comments on the quality of this rare and desirable car - and instead, got a commercial. We did however get to see every Ford Mustang, the Shelby's and the 6-cylinder cars, the Camaros, every Road Runner/Super Bee/GTX - even the tribute cars, but not the 455HO/M-22 GTO Judge.

Tonight there are expected to be some rare and desirable Pontiacs which will come up for bidding - I would hope that maybe you could find a more opportune time to cut to commercial than when these come up for sale.

Thank you,

Chris

They allready have their schedule of comercials lined up. NOthing will make them chage the way they broadcast at this point. I dont really know if its delibrate or not, we'll just have to wait and see.

I did just get finished watching the 06 broadcats over the new Years weekend and after watching many hours of it and driving the family nuts, I didnt see one Poncho roll through.

That may not be exactly true. I'm sure they have the commercials lined up, but notice that sometimes you will see several cars without a commercial, and then see just one or maybe 2 and then they go to a commercial. I believe that if they want a particular car to show, then they will hold a commercial up until it goes under the hammer. JMO

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.
