Bye Bye, Pontiac

After 84 years, the Pontiac brand is dead. Another American brand bites the road dust.

In its lifetime, it produced iconic muscle cars like the GTO and starred in movies such as Smokey and the Bandit. In the final stages of its existence, the brand suffered from a lack of customer interest and its position within a troubled General Motors.

Many who remember will mourn its passing.

another bunch of cars for the "orphan class". It is sad to see an icon go by the wayside, on the bright side this should drive up some of the prices for these automobiles
