Pontiac's Greatest Decade, 1959-1969: The Wide Track Era covers a
specific timeline in Pontiac's history. A decade when it jumped from
middle of the sales pack to hold the coveted number three position
behind Chevrolet and Ford. Pontiac never gave it up from 1961 until
1969. The incredible leadership of Bunkie Knudsen, Bob Estes, and John
DeLorean helped propel Pontiac into this esteemed position. Starting
with the Wide Track 1959 Catalina, in rapid succession came the 1961
Tempest, the 1962 Grand Prix, the 1964 GTO (which launched the musclecar
era), the 1967 Firebird, and the 1969 Grand Prix. Pontiac's Greatest
Decade, The Wide Track Era, captures the energy and the dynamic force of
personality that ignited the spirit of Pontiac Motor Division and all of
its employees, from designers and engineers to assembly line workers and
dealers. No other book on Pontiac's history has captured the essence of
the Wide Track era. Along with never-before-seen photographs, there are
evaluations of the products and significant milestones in the company's
history from 1959 to 1969. Production and pricing information are also
included.
