Pontiac: A historic brand to be retired by GM

GM has announced that they will discontinue their historic Pontiac line. Here's a roundup of Pontiacs throughout their production history.

Here's another well-maintained classic, the 1969 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am.

Pontiac may be best remembered for its muscle cars of the 1960's and 1970's, but they were making cars way before then. Trenton Mayor Douglas H. Palmer, left, councilmen Manny Segura and Brian Hughes ride on a 1937 Pontiac in Trenton, N.J.

Here's a real beauty, the 1965 Pontiac GTO owned by Robert Mohalley.

Here's another classic, this 1966 GTO owned by Leo Laliberte.

Here's a newer kid on the block, the 2008 Pontiac G8 GT.

Bruce Dougherty, Loganville, takes a closer look at a Pontiac Formula 350, which was on the auction block at Stone Mountain Antique Car and Treasure Museum, Stone Mountain.

Charlene Whitehead sits in her 1978 Pontiac Firebird TransAm. Whitehead has owned the TransAm since 1984 and only drives it once a week to work.

Who could forget this one, especially if you are a Smokey and the Bandit fan: the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am.
