To my mind there was NEVER a more beautiful car than a 1967 red Pontiac GTO convertible, preferably with a white top and interior, but almost as fine with a black top and interior.  Big, powerful, wide, and easy to work on.


But remember: I said the last 40 years and that s now 1970, not the 60 s when Detroit hit its zenith-and have gone downhill ever since.  Even Clint Eastwood s  Gran Torino  was at the beginning of the end.  When Pontiac tried to introduce a  new  GTO a few years ago it was ugly, boring and a POS.   What were they THINKING?  is what went through the minds of GTO lovers.
