? for Pontiac lovers?

Do you feel that Pontiac quit making cars after the move to the “corporate engine”?
Should a Canadian Pontiac Beaumont with the factory 396 be considered a Pontiac?
How about classic Pontiacs that have been swapped out to a chevy motor?
Are the New Pontiacs really Pontiacs?

Yes is do feel the same way. Not long ago i took my 14 year old son to a Tomahawk (POCI) chapter meeting and was ask to introduce my boy, i did so and Jr. added he will own my ‘77 T/A S/E (show car only) in three years.
I was then asked If I’d buy a new GTO and my reply was “No I am not buying some corporate crap!”, half-breed car.

Now on to the other part of your question. The Beaumont is a Pontiac, it’s in the book “75 years of Pontiac Oakland” and I have seen a few from time to time at the POCI National Conventions.
As far as those owner of Pontiac’s with a BBC (or SBC) in the bay they are real HALF-BREED autos!
At the drag-strip I pay no attention, car shows, I don’t even vote for them.
