  • The G T O Tiger Times the Voice of the G T O and Pontiac Enthusiast in Central Pennsylvania
    May 2019 Volume 24 Issue 5 The G T O Tiger Times The Voice of the G T O and Pontiac Enthusiast in Central Pennsylvania like the early days before so many restoration parts President ’s Corner were available, you must go out and find what you need to keep these things going! Don ’t forget we have a bunch of events on tap. April 27 th , 2009. A day that will live in Pontiac Please let us know if you plan to attend the factory infamy. Pontiac ’s official last day. Sometimes it can tour at R.E.M. in a few weeks! be difficult to come up with topics to write about every month, and sometimes things just fall in your lap. This week while scrolling through Facebook I Brian was reminded of this ominous anniversary, and it hit me that it has already been 10 years since the last Pontiac rolled off the line and the brand ceased to exist. My how time flies! So far it seems that the Pontiac spirit is still alive even with no support from the mother ship GM. It ’s now up to us the enthusiasts to keep the legend alive, and that is where we come in. As one of the many active clubs out there, we need to be out there giving history lessons at car shows and cruise -ins. The next generation may never know such a brand existed, just as many kids today have never seen a car with a cassette deck (much less an 8 track!), crank windows, manual seats, or even manual transmissions with that extra pedal on the left! If a younger person shows interest in the hobby, take the time to talk to them! They will never get involved if we don ’t take the time to teach them how cool the Pontiac brand was, and still is! Even the newer cars will feel the pinch of Pontiac being downsized.

Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles Celebrates America’s Automotive Love Affair ROANOKE, Va. (July 11, 2018) — Some call them rolling sculptures, others the shape of speed. Ever since the first Model T rolled off Henry Ford’s production line, Americans have had an undeniable love affair with all things automotive. They are far more than forms of transportation; they are transformative works of art. Few can imagine Steve McQueen without his fast cars and motorcycles, after all. Beginning this fall, guests can fall in love again with the cars and motorcycles that defined the first half of the 20th century with the opening of DRIVE! Iconic American Cars and Motorcycles, presented by Advance Auto Parts and on view at the Taubman Museum of Art Sept. 8, 2018-Feb. 3, 2019. A special member preview day is scheduled for Sept. 7. The nearly two-dozen vehicles featured in the exhibition span over a half-century from 1912-1965 and include one-of-a-kind concept cars and celebrity-owned roadsters and motorcycles. Organized by well-known guest curator Ken Gross, former director of the Petersen Automotive Museum in -more- One-of-a-kind Cars and Celebrity-owned Motorcycles: DRIVE!

Saunders, Committee Chair Dr. Alan C. Grubb Dr. Steven G. Marks ABSTRACT Big and bold, loud and brash, mighty and proud, the classic American muscle car is in many ways a reflection of America at a time in history when we were on top of the world and everything seemed to be going our way. This work will examine the classic muscle car era of 1964-1974, including how it started, who helped it along, what cars were involved, how it ended, and what it meant. What the future holds for a car such as a muscle car is also examined. ii DEDICATION To my brother Robert, for inspiring my interest in cars. And to my parents, Gene and Vickie, and my wife Celeste, for their encouragement.

  • 1963 Pontiac Tempest a Car Without a Counterpart
    The 1961 to 1963 Pontiac Tempest A Car Without a Counterpart hen Pontiac’s Assistant Chief Engineer John Z. DeLorean addressed the Detroit Section of the Society of Automotive EWngineers on November 11, 1960, he told them about a radical, new small car that Pontiac was introducing. The name of the car was Tempest, and it featured a number of revolutionary technical break- throughs that he detailed for his audience. The title of his presentation was “Pontiac Tempest, a Car Without a Counterpart.” B Y J A M E S M . L U IKE N S lanning for the Tempest had actually begun together by a unique, curved driveshaft. For their remember that GM had not manufactured a 4-cylinder several years earlier when General Motors engine, they chose to cut the highly-proven Pontiac equipped car since 1928. The last,volume American Pdecreed that its Buick, Olds, and Pontiac divi- 389 cid V8 engine in half, using the right bank of car to use a 4-cylinder engine prior to the Tempest was sions were going to develop a line of senior compact the V8 to create a new 194.5 cid 4-cylinder engine the 1931 Ford Model A, and the last American car with cars for the 1961 model year. While Buick and Olds that utilized many V8 components. It is important to a 4-cylinder engine, period, was the Henry J of 1954. It took a relatively safe path and broke no new ground beyond a small-displacement V8 engine constructed of aluminum by Buick, Pontiac chose to throw con- ventionality out the window and design a radical, new small car that stretched the boundaries of originality and technology in nearly every direction.

  • OHC WEB Pontiac's Fantastic Six.Pdf
    PPontiac’ontiac’ss FFantasticantastic SIXSIXSIX Born in a generation of powerful V-8’s, Pontiac’s revolutionary ohc6 was just too much, too soon. By: Jim Black • Papillion, Nebraska Long before the series II 3800 V-6, or the technologically advanced Vortec 4200 inline six offered by GM, Pontiac had its own exclusive ohc6 that was for a time, the most sophisticated engine ever produced by General Motors. The brainchild of John DeLorean, then Pontiac’s Chief Engineer; this SOHC six-cylinder engine was developed to power Pontiac’s increasingly larger Tempest and LeMans intermediates, but DeLorean took a different approach to the design that would include a “first for the U.S. market”, belt- driven overhead camshaft. The idea of an overhead cam engine was not new. Gear-driven overhead cam engines were predominant on the world racing scene, but were complicated, expensive, and difficult to maintain in their racing form. However, the European’s had been building chain-driven, toned down versions for years and with good success on their regular production models. The concept of a belt-driven cam however, was e untested territory for a regular production automobile. The ohc6 was based off of Chevrolet’s 230 cubic inch L-head six-cylinder engine but nearly all components were either modified or of a completely new design. The ohc6 had a bore of 3.875 inches and a stroke of 3.250 inches with a 9.0:1 compression ratio. The crankshaft was a cast nodular-iron design supported by seven main bearings and the block was extended well below the crankshaft centerline to provide greater stiffness, improve bearing life, and minimize vibration.
