Happy Birthday to Jim Wangers. His advertising, marketing, and tie -ins really made the GTO a special car from day 1. Some of his advertising ideas were ground breaking. Like advertising the GTO with only a black and white picture of an empty garage!! Nothing but some ominous text ! This was genius at work. He and his advertising firm were a big part of Pontiac magic in the 60's. Rest well, my friend.

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.
