Incidentally, at the time of my retirement, we were still doing these hoist review/brain storming sessions at Milford. If I had been there that day, they both would have turned to me and said "...when can we drive it?".

That is great clarification, and input Mr. Seymore. I missed that detail in the story, and always assumed Wangers was a GM man and "Mr. GTO" given all of the articles and spotlight he received. But - on page 1 of the attachments, it says "worked for the division as a product planner", and "Chief AD Man over at Pontiac's AD Agency". So that is confusing? Exactly what part did he play?

"Worked for the division as a product planner" would be incorrect.

"Chief ad man over at Pontiac's ad agency" would be spot on.
