Filed under: Time Warp, Pontiac
With the brand's death official, we decided it was only appropriate to take a look back to find the ten greatest vehicles that defined Pontiac performance. As you'll see and undoubtedly already know, there was a time when Pontiac really did build excitement.
First, some history: Pontiac was first launched in 1926 as a companion to the Oakland brand, which was purchased by General Motors way back in 1909. In 1949, Pontiac introduced a brand new model that was intended to usher in a new sporty flair to the automaker's stately line of automobiles. Though the new model was fairly successful, it was held back by the long-running straight-eight engine that had been used since the early 1930s. That was all about to change with the introduction of the first model on our Top 10 list. Want to know more? Read on.
