Classic Pontiac GTO

I caught this GTO just as I was leaving the Cats INn the Garden show at the Van Vleck house in Montclair, New Jersey. It's of mid-sixties vintage.

 

The GTO was created with the same idea Volkswagen would apply to creating the GTI; Pontiac took a volume family car (the Le Mans/Tempest) and put a powerful engine in it and added a few other nice features to create a performance vehicle. Or, as it ws called, a "muscle car."

 

Speaking of the engine, I don't know how this vehicle could be street legal. There was no hood! .
