Tom Marks' Pontiac Story:

I have owned eight Pontiacs over my lifetime. What attracted me to this brand other than being manipulated by Pontiac’s marketing department headed by Jim Wangers. Where I grew up in the mid-sixties everyone had Chevrolets, they were cool cars but they were plentiful. If you wanted something different you could get a Mopar. The drawback with those were in the northeast with our snow filled winters the Dodge’s and Plymouths seemed to rust out quickly. There were Fords (which are my second favorite brand), but everyone had Mustangs. Oldsmobile’s Buick’s were old people cars. Corvettes were way out of my financial league. That left Pontiacs.Pontiac the performance division, Super Duty’s engines, wide track, tri power every model could be made special and exciting. Pontiac also had a reputation, if you wanted something different with a little bit of rebellion that was your brand. The times they were a changing and if you wanted to show your rebellious nature Pontiac was for you. These cars were not your Fathers Pontiacs (where did that come from).My own story with Pontiac actually starts with my Fathers Pontiac. He purchased a used 1956 Pontiac Chieftain four door sedan in 1957. The car looked something like this car. Nimbus Gray/ white 316 Cubic inch 192 horsepower automatic. Not very exciting. That was my introduction to Pontiac’s. I was seven and the back seat was mine. The interior had been redone seats recovered carpeting replaced. According to my dad he had gotten a good price on the car so he traded in his 1952 Plymouth. The car did have a history that he told me about once he swapped the Pontiac for a used 1959 T Bird (very cool car). It seemed that the Chieftain’s original owner had ended his life in that car. Talk about excitement a haunted car. So, this car planted Pontiac in my brain this is where it started.The next chapter when the urge to write strikes will be the Maggie May GTO. Stayed tuned. Also, if anyone wants to tell their Pontiac stories Ned can use some content for the web Site. I know there are some good stories out there.

Bob Goebel's Bonneville

My 1961 Pontiac Bonneville convertible was born in southern California and first sold from a dealer in Fresno in central California. It stayed there and was first shown in car shows in 1982. I have dash plaques that say so. About 25 years ago , a Canadian farmer bought it , and it went from California to Sarnia, Ontario. That fellow had about 20 cars in his barn, but this was the only Pontiac. He was simply not in good health, and was slimming down his collection. He said it had never been in rain or snow for the ten years that he had owned it. I had seen it on line, and my brother, who lives in Canada , checked it out for me. We were summering in Michigan, so we went over the Blue Water Bridge to buy it. The trouble was, I had no plates to drive it back to Michigan. Florida won’t issue any till they inspect the car. So I borrowed my wife’s plates and put those on it. I was concerned, as the bridge is also an international border crossing. Luckily, when I got to the border, they were car guys. They said-we are not police, so just don’t get stopped. Because of its age I did not need safety or pollution checks. I then had it shipped back to Florida by truck. I had it in Titusville first, and then we moved back to Palm Beach county, where it has been for the past 8 1/2 years. It is pretty rare and has done quite well in shows. I started the local Pontiac club to share my interests in Pontiacs with others.

This was an unexpected photo shoot. Just two days before the pictures were taken, a woman from Golf magazine asked if I was available to bring my Pontiac Grand Prix to be a prop for an article in the magazine. Fortunately, I was free to go to veteran golfer Brad Faxon's home course. He was hosting a longtime friend and Golf magazine's senior writer Mike Bamberger. Mike was a caddy/friend of Brad's going back 40 years. They wanted to "recapture" a moment in time when they would drive around south Florida in Brad's old Pontiac convertible. It was a memorable time, and both men were very gracious as well as the photo/video crew

It all started when my 1964 Malibu SS convertible engine caught fire in the Mojave Desert on the way home from Edwards Airforce base, just before my Commitment in the Air Force was coming to an end. We moved back to Chicago, and I talked to a Pontiac salesman just saying what I would like on a car. He ordered it and called me when it came in. I was not going to buy a new car but once I saw it, I couldn’t pass it up. I delivered paint for my father’s paint store and used the my New GTO as my work vehicle, and in the winter I had to use 5 gallon paint cans in the trunk for traction in the Chicago snow riddled roads. One time the head lights were stolen while we were at the bowling alley, how nice that the thieves left the screws and hardware on the ground so we could replace them.

One time the head lights were stolen while we were at the bowling alley, how nice that the thieves left the screws and hardware on the ground so we could replace them. I did a lot of street racing with other GTOs and a Grand Prix when my wife, Carolyn, wasn’t with me.

As life happens, moving on was necessary so we had to sell my GTO as the family was getting bigger and a new family car was necessary. We traded in my beloved GTO for a Pontiac Catalina. My job had the family move to Florida in 1980, and we began attending an old car show on Friday nights at the Tower Shops in Davie, FL. I started looking for an old car to nurture, drive for fun and bring to these Friday night car shows. I found a gold 1967 GTO in the paper in the next city over. My oldest son and I went to see this car and I quickly treated myself to a Christmas gift and bought this beautiful replacement of my 1st 1967 GTO. Kept the car as is for many years and put the original engine back in it. Fast forward a few years and decided to paint it Sonic Blue and it turned out great. The car is still in great shape, it has 4-wheel disc brakes and a 5 Speed Transmission, and Dakota instrument panel, and new KYB shocks. This beautiful car is currently FOR SALE. My vision is not the best which prohibits me from the enjoyment of this beautiful classic GTO, and most importantly, I don’t in an accident. Please call Dave at 561-329-3240 for more details and for any questions you may have.
