My entire family owned Pontiacs my fathers first and last new car was a 65
Tempest we were kids when he and my mom ordered a blue 4 dor. I liked it so
much I got one in the same color in my senior year in 2 door. My brother had
a 69 GTO convertable and uncle had a 65 Catalina blue 2 door. I had 2 75
Grand Prix and of course my belovid daily driver is a 94 Saturn Wagon 1
owner.
