Dittos on the 70 Trans Am.

There's a handful of cars I consider my favorite Pontiacs, there's a list I consider the most beautiful Pontiacs ever, then there's a short list of cars that I believe made the biggest impact in Pontiac history.

The 70 Trans Am makes all three of those lists.

Here's another auto show pic that I thought was great. Nowadays, you have focus groups to determine the best auto show display for a specific car model, you have to examine every facet of a display to make sure it's not demeaning to women or any ethnic group, and everyone is offended by everything.

In the 60's, it was just a chick in a barracuda outfit, and everyone was happy.

Default AUTO SHOW DISPLAYS OF THE PAST...
This one always makes me laugh,
I don't know for sure but have to think it was rotating.

lol...Yes, I went back to delete my comment after it occurred to me that "Alvin knows what a '66 GTO looks like". Now I see that I deleted it too late.

I've actually never handled it, it's been hanging in the shop since I can remember, I think I heard my dad tell someone it is made out of Styrofoam. He said it is really lite and hardly weighs anything.
