My love for Big Pontiacs began in the late 60's when my Dad introduced me to his 1963 Nocturne Blue Grand Prix. I loved that car and the time with my Dad. This site is dedicated not only to my efforts restoring two Big B-Body Pontiacs, but also to the friends, family, folks, and journey along the way. Like most things in life, this Blog takes some tangents into whatever stuff I think is interesting at the time--automobile related, of course.

Pontiac Police Cars
Pontiac and law enforcement go way back. Pontiacsonline.com has a great visual history of Pontiac Cop Cars through time: Pontiac Police Cars Trivia: Why are they called "Cops"? Historically, police officers had copper badges. Hence, "Cop."
While the Pontiac brand has now departed, the genetic makeup of the great Pontiac G8 lives on in the reintroduction of the Chevy Caprice PPV, which is not available to the general public: 2012 Chevy Caprice PPV We'll have to wait a few years while these fleet vehicles are gradually retired, auctioned to the public, and replaced before we can get one.
