Pontiacs Came to Lawrenceburg

 

Founded as a companion brand to General Motors' Oakland automobiles in 1926, Pontiac soon overtook their "big brother" line and fit neatly into GM's mid-range marketing ladder. Sitting above Chevrolet and just below Oldsmobile, Pontiac was seen as a step up from an entry level car, having a bit more status than the Chevy. For decades it was clearly a family car. But by the 1960s it was a pace setter in the muscle car battles. And in a lot of cases, it is these muscle car Pontiacs that are extremely popular at automotive events. The 10th Annual Cruisin' to a Cure for ALS show in Lawrenceburg saw plenty of Pontiacs including a Grand Prix, a Firebird, a Chieftain, a "Screaming Eagle" Trans Am, a Firebird, and a GTO.
