I really, really loved the artwork they did for Pontiac!

Those were great ads. I miss the old days.

Me too.

I was a sophomore in high school when my Dad and I went to the Pontiac dealer in Whittier, CA. HE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 1962 Pontiac Catalina. God, it was gorgeous! The sales brochure had those illustrations, and I kept it for years. Wish I still had it.
