That actually would have been 1966 with about 96,000 cars out the door. I believe in '65 they sold about 72,000 cars

Hi Tracker1,

I was speaking of “Popular” as in most liked (1965) from multiple surveys taken the past 40+ years in the GTO world.

As for Production, totals below.
‘64 - 32,405
‘65 - 75,352
‘66 - 96,946
‘67 - 81,722

Default Vintage Pontiac Advertisements

Pontiac advertisements and their brochures from 1959 through 1971 had beautiful artwork from the famous Arthur Fitzpatrick and Van Kaufman.

Below are a few of the reflections and shadows that were featured on these awesome illustrations.

Father's Day weekend a few years ago I had the opportunity to participate in the "Eyes on Design" event, held at the Edsel Ford Estate.

The show is an "invitation only" event (cars are chosen by a selection committee) and benefits the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The show is also unique in the way cars are judged, not by how well they are restored (or survived) but by how the design (ie, styling) created trends, enabled technology or reflected the culture.

The theme for our specific display was the advertising artwork of Art Fitzpatick/Van Kaufman. I was asked to bring both the GTO and the Grand Prix. As you might expect the vehicles were displayed with the corresponding advertising art.











And - we got to keep the posters.

Default Great Advertisements of old Muscle.

A really neat ‘64 GTO consumer catalog that’s inside of a CAR and DRIVER magazine.

Default A Classic “foldout”

Here’s another vintage advertisement for the New 1967 GM Muscle.

It happens the be a foldout inside of a CAR CRAFT magazine.

Cool ad showing the “Original” American Racing Equipment Torque Thrust wheels that were so popular then and now.

On the backside of the foldout are the specifications of the Muscle on front side.
