1969 Pontiac GTO JUDGE 1:24 Motormax

The Pontiac GTO is an automobile that was built by Pontiac in generations from 1964 to 1974 model years, and by GM's subsidiary Holden in Australia from 2004 to 2006.

The first generation GTO was a muscle car of the 1960s and 1970s era. Although there were earlier muscle cars, the Pontiac GTO is considered by some to have started the trend with all four domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models.

For the 1964 and 1965 model years, the GTO was an optional package on the intermediate-sized Pontiac Tempest. The GTO became its own model from 1966 to 1972. It became an option package again for the 1973 intermediate Le Mans. For 1974, the GTO option package was offered on the compact-sized Ventura.

The GTO was selected Motor Trend Car of the Year in 1968.

The GTO model was revived from 2004 to 2006 model years as a captive import for Pontiac, a left-hand drive version of the Holden Monaro, itself a coupé variant of the Holden Commodore.

1997 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am Motley Crue Too Fast Racing Champions 1:24

El Pontiac Firebird es un automóvil deportivo que la marca estadounidense Pontiac construyó para que su matriz General Motors siguiera presente en el exclusivo sector de los deportivos más apetecibles del mundo entre los años 1967 y 2002. Debe su nombre a un dios de los indios nativos americanos.

El Firebird fue presentado seis meses después de su "hermano" de plataforma: el Chevrolet Camaro. Esto coincidió con el lanzamiento del Mercury Cougar. Los vehículos fueron, en su mayor parte, potenciados por diversos motores V8 de las diferentes divisiones de General Motors. Aunque principalmente Pontiac suplía sus propios motores hasta 1977, después de ese año fueron construidos con diferentes motores de casi toda la gama de General Motors hasta 2002.6​

El precursor del concepto del muscle car fue el GTO, que poco después dio origen a uno de los deportivos más icónicos de la cultura americana: el Firebird, que salió a la venta tres años después que el GTO, en 1967.

La primera generación empezó a comercializarse en 1967 y estuvo en el mercado durante tres años. Recibía el nombre de un dios indio que simboliza la belleza, el poder y la juventud y se lanzó en cuatro versiones unos meses después de la presentación del Chevrolet Camaro, con lo que John DeLorean, cabeza visible del proyecto, tuvo tiempo para mejorar la ingeniería, mover el motor hacia atrás y añadir barras de torsión en el eje trasero para mejorar el reparto de pesos y la tracción. Sin embargo, no fue hasta el final de esa primera generación que llegó el Trans-Am, que recibía el nombre de las célebres carreras americanas. Esta versión contaba con un bloque V8 Ram-Air que superaba los 253 HP (257 CV; 189 kW) del Firebird 400.

1969 Pontiac Firebird 1:24 Maisto ProRodz

The Pontiac Firebird is an American automobile built and produced by Pontiac from the 1967 to 2002 model years. Designed as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang, it was introduced on February 23, 1967, five months after GM's Chevrolet division's platform-sharing Camaro. This also coincided with the release of the 1967 Mercury Cougar, Ford's upscale, platform-sharing version of the Mustang. The name "Firebird" was also previously used by GM for the General Motors Firebird in the 1950s and early 1960s concept cars.

The name "Firebird", previously used by GM for the General Motors Firebird in the 1950s and early 1960s concept cars, symbolizes youth, power, and beauty. All of these are shared by the well-known supernatural phoenix featured in various regional narratives. However, paralleling the name Pontiac, in this Native American iteration, the name "Firebird" additionally symbolizes both destruction and terror, two fitting descriptors for an American muscle car.

The first generation Firebird had characteristic Coke bottle styling shared with its cousin, the Chevrolet Camaro. Announcing a Pontiac styling trend, the Firebird's bumpers were integrated into the design of the front end, giving it a more streamlined look than the Camaro. The Firebird's rear "slit" taillights were inspired by the 1966–1967 Pontiac GTO and Pontiac Grand Prix. Both a two-door hardtop and a convertible were offered through the 1969 model year. Originally, the car was a "consolation prize" for Pontiac, which had desired to produce a two-seat sports car based on its original Banshee concept car. However, GM feared this would cut into Chevrolet Corvette sales, and gave Pontiac a piece of the "pony car" market by sharing the F-body platform with Chevrolet. The listed retail price before options for the coupe was $2,666 ($23,398 in 2022 dollars) and the convertible was $2,903 ($27,392 in 2022 dollars).

2006 Pontiac Solstice Convertible Maisto 1:24

From Wikipedia:
 The Pontiac Solstice is a sports car that was produced by Pontiac. Introduced at the 2004 North American International Auto Show, the Solstice roadster began production in Wilmington, Delaware, starting in mid-2005 for the 2006 model year. It is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.4 L I4 engine, producing 177 hp (132 kW) and 166 lb⋅ft (225 N⋅m) of torque. The exterior styling of the production Solstice is similar to that of the 2002 Solstice concept[4] that preceded it. Production of the Solstice was to be running before summer 2005, but delays at the Wilmington plant pushed volume production to the fourth quarter. The new hardtop targa top 2009 model was announced in mid-2008.[6] The Solstice uses the GM Kappa platform, which also underpins the Saturn Sky, Opel GT, and Daewoo G2X. It was the brand's first two-seater since the Pontiac Fiero was discontinued in 1988.

The Solstice was nominated for the North American Car of the Year award and Design of the Year award from the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) for 2006. It was a runaway hit for Pontiac, with 7,000 orders in the first 10 days of availability and 6,000 more orders before winter. Although first-year production was planned at 7,000, GM apologized to customers for delays and increased production, delivering 10,000 by March 1.

Following the 2008 economic recession, GM discontinued the Pontiac division. Production ended with the closure of the Wilmington Assembly plant in July 2009.
