Founders Ringo64 Posted July 17, 2019 Founders Share Posted July 17, 2019 https://motor-junkie.com/14-forgotten-pontiacs-probably-never-knew-existed/2218/ Decent article with one I was not aware of like the Sunburst.

Frosty Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I'd never heard or seen the Pontiac Farago CF 428 before. I am disappointed that they went between concept vehicles and production vehicles. I think I would have suggested that the author stick to one or the other. Especially since, in the case of the Banshee series there were four of them, they only mention #1 and #4. I guess #2 and #3 didn't make the grade. We could mention most of the Canadian-built Pontiacs, the Australian-built Pontiac pickup of 1929, the delivery trucks of 1926 1/2 to 1928, the 1979-1980 Grand Camino, the four-passenger Fiero or the lone convertible Fiero, virtually any of the other unnamed concept cars, the Pontiac G8 ST (that almost made production), the Mexico-only G3 How about the 1977 Pontiac Phantom - mind you this is not a working car but a full size model Ditto the 1999 Concept GTO.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founders Ringo64 Posted July 17, 2019 Author Founders Share Posted July 17, 2019 There are probably a lot to add on to that list. I was expecting the article to be pretty plain-jane and only things the light-hearted auto enthusiast would know. I was pretty happy but I too like the notes you made Frosty. Heck you should create one for each of the categories you brought up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewy Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Thought I'd add to the fun with a few I can recall off the top of my head (taking more of a concept view of this thread): Pontiac Piranha Pontiac Rageous Pontiac Aztek (concept) - MANY people I know of looked harshly on the (production) Aztek - regardless of styling, I give GM props for having the courage to put something so "different" into production Pontiac Grand Am Convertible (saw this guy in person at the NAIAS several years back) Then there's this Grand Prix who did see production (one of one) but only as a Pace Car Edited September 11, 2019 by Stewy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much of a cult following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
