History and development

Pontiac helped define the classic American muscle car with the GTO in the 1960s. Models like The Judge amplified the image with bold graphics and high-output V8 engines.

The Firebird and Trans Am carried the brand’s performance identity into the 1970s, 1980s and beyond, becoming cultural icons through films and television. Pontiac production ultimately ended in 2010.
