By Jesse Thomas. Seventy years of four-wheeled Pontiac fantasies. Detailed photographs show it all, from Pontiacs made for display in Pontiac-Oakland dealerships of the 1930s, to ghost-like see-through Pontiacs exhibited at the 1939-40 Worlds Fair, to Motorama dream machines and Banshees, to the late Pontiac concept vehicles.

Known in the 1950s and 1960s - and again today - for building cars stressing performance and excitement, Pontiac was also one of the most enthusiastic creators of show cars and dream machines. This was a crucial element in the 1950s in Pontiac Motor Division's image improvement campaign, which changed Pontiac from grandpa's car to a youth-market muscle car. The dream cars and prototypes that came from Pontiac helped save the division from becoming extinct. Includes photos never before printed in a mass-market publication or book. Photos include exterior and interior details, as well as full-body shots of the cars."
