DescriptionSeventy years of four-wheeled Pontiac fantasies. Detailed photographs show it all, from Pontiacs made for display in Pontiac-Oakland dealerships in the 1930s, to ghost-like see-through Pontiacs exhibited at the 1939-40 Worlds Fair, to Motorama dream machines and Banshees, to the late Pontiac concept vehicles. Known in the 1950s and 1960s - and again today - for building cars stressing performance and excitement, Pontiac was also one of the most enthusiastic creators of show cars and dream machines. This was a crucial element in the 1950s in Pointiac Motor Division's image improvement campaign, which changed Pontiac from Grandpas's car to a youth-market muscle car. The dream cars and prototypes that came from Pontiac helped save the division from becoming extinct. Includes photos never before printed in a mass market publication or book. Photos included exterior and interior details, as well as full-body shots of the cars. Softbound, 112 pages, 10 1/4" x 8 1/2". 121 B&W photos.
