GTO : Daily Driver
Spotted in the general parking lot of the condominium block we were staying in, during our recent visit to Palm Springs, California. Despite being a sought-after classic muscle car from the 1960's it appears to be a 'daily driver' i.e. "A personally owned automobile driven on a frequent basis for standard and mundane tasks" [Wictionary] .
The Pontiac GTO is a front-engine rear-drive 2-door mid-size car beginning with the 1964 model year, arguably the trend-setting "muscle cars" so popular in North America in the '60's and 70's. The concept was to fit a regular production car (Pontiac Tempest/LeMans) with a bigger engine (389 ci) offering improved handling and performance, although braking was dubious.
Each model year typically had improvements, and this one seems to be a 1965 model.
