"By Paul Zazarine, forward by Jim Wangers. This book covers a decade in Pontiac's history when it jumped from middle of the sales pack to hold the coveted number three position behind Chevrolet and Ford. A position Pontiac held from 1961 until 1969. The incredible talents and leadership of men like Bunkie Knudsen, Bob Estes, John DeLorean and Jim Wangers helped propel Pontiac to this esteemed position.

Beginning with the Wide Track 1959 Catalina, in rapid succession came the 1961 Tempest, the 1962 Grand Prix, the 1964 GTO (which launched the muscle car era), the 1967 Firebird, and the 1969 Grand Prix.

Pontiac's Greatest Decade 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 so completely captured the essence of the Wide Track era. Along with never before seen photographs, are evaluations of the products and significant milestones in the company's history from 1959 to 1969. Production and pricing information are also included."
