Those were the days..all great looking cars. Kinda makes me sick when I think about the boring cars we have to choose from today!!

Every September was special for car lovers back in the day. That was the month the new cars came out and it was sooo exciting to see the latest GM models. Today cars basically look the same every year-boring!

Hey, Don Draper in his own Pontiac commercial. But seriously, the ’69 GM full-sized cars were some of the most beautiful ever.

Good catch Sharkey. The Bonnevilles and Executives were on the longer wheelbase while Catalinas and the station wagons were on the shorter one. Also for lasuvidaboy, the Ventura technically was not a seperate model, but was simply an option package for the Catalina with special nameplates.

My mom had a beautiful 69 Grand Prix back in the early 70s. Some of my earliest memories are of that car. They made some wonderful vehicles with great styling. Sad to see Pontiac go. Really sad. RIP Pontiac.

So sad to see Pontiac go, it’s sad, really, just sad. Another American icon fades away.

i own a 1969 pontiac firebird, im a pontiac fan! its a sad day april 27th 2009. GM made public today that pontiac will stop production . i wonder if GM would have ask the public what the costumer would like in its cars, instead of doing their own thing and building these square boxes . i believe costumer input could help them out . it seams GM is out of touch. sad

This commercial appears to have been filmed at what is now Somerset Pontiac-GMC, on Maple Road in Troy Michigan. It is still there, for now, and is located about 10 miles south of Pontiac’s original HQ in Pontiac, MI. Also about 2 miles east of the famous Woodward Avenue. I am sure the showroom building was brand new in ’69. Those were the days!!

My family was a Pontiac family w/a 1965 Bonneville, ’68 Bonneville and ’75 Grandville convertible (I learned to drive in) which we still have. 60,000 miles triple white and in pristine condition. It always gets positive when I take the ‘beast’ out for a spin. People are blown away that it’s been in our family since my mom ordered it 34-years ago. Sad to see the division go:(

yeah its so sad i fucking HATE GM now they killed my favorite American brand.

I have since learned that this was originally Audette Pontiac, Birmingham (Troy), Michigan at the time this was filmed. It became Somerset in the early 70′s.

Thanks for sharing about you family history of Pontiac’s. They have always been my farovrite car. My first car was a new 1976 Grand Lemans. I was 16 and working at a family owned grocery store. My dad had the 100.00 coming out of his check and I would give him 25.00 dollars a week. Everyone at school thought i was rich. We were far from that, but that is how Pontiac’s looked. Those truely were the good old day’s. What did your mom order on the75 Grand ville? I sure it is loaded. Thanks again.

My mom ordered her 1975 Grandville convertible from Steiner Pontiac (long gone) in Pasadena, CA. It was ordered in the fall of 1974 and arrived in the new year as I remember.

Yeh, I remember my first Austin Allegro, must have been the summer of ’75.

That ’75 Grandville convertible must have been something, those were great cars. I remember my aunt and uncle had a beautiful dark blue ’71 Grandville four-door hardtop when I was a kid. I SO wish I could have that car today! For some reason, the Grandville never really caught on and after ’76 when it was discontinued, the Bonneville returned to the top of the Pontiac lineup.

The 1975 Grandville Convertible was GMs 2nd most expensive convertible after the more expensive Cadillac Eldorado. For some reason, the Grandville was more expensive than either the Oldsmobile or Buick convertibles that last year of production.

Pontiac, John DeLorean and Paul Richards: Thanks and R.I.P.

Nice car, but crapy commercial.

I actually like that song! And for 1969 you have to remember, the effects and design seem pretty state of the art. This commercial compares pretty well with the ’80′s Pontiac “We Build Excitement” spots.

This jingle was written by 1950′s soul/R&B singer/composer Jimmy Radcliffe, who later in his career wrote commercial jingles. He released this song as an instrumental single called just “Breakaway” and took out the Pontiac references.
