can’t beat an old GM car
Pontiac carved its reputation as GM’s performance division, especially in the muscle car era.
The most famous classic Pontiac is the GTO, often called the first true muscle car—introduced in 1964 with a 389 V8 and setting the template for Detroit horsepower wars.
The Firebird Trans Am, especially late ’70s models like the 1977–78 “Smokey and the Bandit” car, became cultural icons with shaker hoods and screaming chicken decals.
The Pontiac Bonneville from the late ’50s and early ’60s showed the brand’s flair for style and luxury mixed with power.
The Pontiac Catalina Super Duty drag racers of the early ’60s also earned Pontiac serious credibility on the strip.
Even rarer icons include the 1969 Firebird Trans Am Ram Air IV and the lightweight Pontiac Tempest Super Duty that tore up NHRA events.
At its peak, Pontiac blended affordability with muscle, giving everyday buyers access to cars that became legends.
