Pontiac Magazines from GM
Back in the day if you got a Pontiac lease or purchased a new car you got these sent to you by GM, anyone have these still?
A friend gave me a few

Pontiac's "parent" Oakland published a magazine for owners called "The Oaklander". I have issues from 1923~1930.
Pontiac published a similar magazine called "Pontiac Owner's Magazine" from 1935~1942 (I have the complete run of these). General Motors published a magazine for all GM workers (not for customers) called "G M Folks" from 1938~1956. Pontiac published "Safari" for Pontiac owners from 1960~1971 (I have a complete run of these). Sometime later, Pontiac published a magazine called "Pontiac Excitement". Don't know much about these, as they are newer than most of my collection. All of these magazines show a wonderful snapshot of life in a different time, along with a lot of sales hype about the cars. Jon.

Right after I posted above I did a search and saw where you had those magazines.
Did the newer ones come from the local dealer? One of the reasons I bought the ones I have is for the dealer names and addresses on the back.

I don't remember on "The Oaklander", and I also don't remember where they are
The "Pontiac Owners Magazine" do have dealers names and addresses on the back, as do the "Safari" magazines. Jon.

I have a Pontiac Driving Excitement from 1998 and a few Pontiac Performance from 2007 to 2009 that they sent me after I bought my 2007 Grand Prix GXP.
Plus, I save this Action Track from several years ago: Last edited by JimFB400HO; 04-21-2021 at 09:59 AM. |

I wrote the first editorial for Pontiac Driving Excitement back in 1998 or so. I also wrote a column for Pontiacracing.com. The pay was really good but dealing with the legal department was a serious hassle. They continually flagged stuff they didn't understand. Definitely not car enthusiasts...

The article on the 10th anniversary TA, showed the leather interior getting the embroidered birds being put on. Im not sure I ever saw that article other than in that magazine.

I could have bought "his & hers" new Pontiacs for less than they wanted for royalties! Jon

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.
