I met Mr. Bonander at the Pontiac show in Madera a few years back. Really nice guy, he sat right down in my extra lawn chair and we talked Pontiacs for a good 30 minutes or more. I was hoping too see the Sacramento Mike Salta dealership in the video, but the ones shown looked to be from other locations. I did see Delta Pontiac in Stockton. Here's a cool '69 vintage license frame and insert from Delta Pontiac...

That is like new! Where did you find it?

BTW - I forgot to mention..... my '05 GTO was bought new at Mazzei.

I had 3 pics of Delta Pontiac, but I think I only used 1 in the video.

By 1974, Delta Pontiac became one of the very few GM dealers to share their lot with AMC. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]
