While sorting through vintage photos in my collection searching for a specific image, I happen across a 1965 GTO decorated with tiger stripes, a tiger tail, and a sign on the passenger side door that read “Test Drive This Tiger at Delta Pontiac.” As I stared at the black-and-white print, I started thinking about Pontiac’s Tiger-themed marketing campaign, which it heavily promoted during the mid-1960s. But when did Pontiac actually begin using tiger references in its advertisements? Do you know?

Vintage Photos- Wrecked Pontiacs
PontiacCommentFor years I have been collecting vintage amateur photos with Pontiacs in them. Some were as simple as an impromptu photo with the family Pontiac in the background while others are as specific as a first-time owner photographing his new Pontiac. All, however, provide a glimpse of everyday life of times gone by.
How My Grandfather's '67 GTO Found Us 50 Years Later...
1 CommentLike any nostalgic hobbyist, I often wonder what became of all the vehicles that my grandfather, my dad, and I have owned. I hoped that someday I would come across my grandfather's '65 LeMans, his '66 GTO, and/or his '67 GTO. And one found us!
