First and last 2010 Pontiac Solstice at Barrett-Jackson 2011 - Click above for high-res image gallery

A great cry of weeping and teeth-gnashing could be heard around the globe after General Motors decided to put an end to the Pontiac brand a few years back. Of course, that also means the last several machines to roll down the line could potentially become collectors items.

Does that include the 2010 Pontiac Solstice Coupe or Convertible? That's tough to say, but something of a precedent could indeed be set tonight at Barrett-Jackson as the very first and very last 2010 Solstices are going up on the auction block, sold as a pair.

First up is #1 of 12 Solstice GXP Coupes built in 2010, in Kinetic blue with an interior in black leather with matching blue accents. It's also the only Heritage Coupe built with a manual transmission. Up next is the very last 2010 Solstice built (of 20 total), a Kinetic Blue Convertible.

Check out both the Coupe and Convertible models' official auction pages on Barrett-Jackson, and watch Speed's live online coverage here.

They were really neat cars indeed!

Too bad the New DeLorean thing didn't take off. Supposedly, discussions were in the works to continue those platforms outside GM.

I was going to say, I met him and he's not that big of a guy haha, not like I can say much because I'm a whopping 5'4" 135 lbs... but still, I do have to agree that's a car that even if I were 7' tall (god I don't have a chance no matter what enhancers they come out with) I'd still make myself fit
