Pontiac stood out among other GM brands. Not only did it create the GTO, Firebird, and Bonneville, the company's dedicated staff designed, developed, and built some of the most audacious and progressive experimental and concept cars. Pontiac Concept and Show Cars gives you a comprehensive retrospective of its ground-breaking cars in the history of automotive design. Don Keefe, Pontiac historian and long-time Pontiac magazine editor, takes you on a fascinating tour of Pontiac's automotive visions and wildest creations. Some of the cars never went beyond the experimental stage; others became prototypes. Although some design elements were incorporated on other cars, some models went into production. You get the inside story on the design, modeling, and fabrication processes. You are shown an automotive future that could have been, and the cars that became history. During the 1950s, Pontiac concept cars, such as the Bonneville Specials, Strato Streak, and La Parisienne, wowed the public in the Motorama show. In the 1960s and 1970s, Pontiac was tapped into the youth market, and radical designs that used European influence to create aggressive sports/muscle cars. The GTO Flammé, Bonneville Special, Club De Mer, Firebird Pegasus, Cirrus, Banshee, and others piqued interest and kept enthusiasts coming back for more. These fascinating and innovative Pontiac concept and show cars are examined in exquisite detail. In these pages, the glorious creations of Pontiac s Project X car program are revealed through the years. If you've been looking for a book that authoritatively and comprehensively covers the remarkable and influential Pontiac prototypes of the past, you have found it.
