Last we heard from ex Pontiac Ad man Jim Wanger– the Godfather of the GTO– he was speaking with Automobile entrepot and he was pissed. Pontiac, the brand he sold and nurtured, was dead and, according to him, the marketing and management people at GM were to blame. "If there was ever a domestic manufacturer that ever had a really good set of obloquy it was Pontiac – Bonneville, Grand Prix, Trans Am! And then all these little boys in men's jobs come along, and come up with insanely stupid 'G' names." Ouch.

Now he's back in the news, "thinning the heard" and unloading a dream-car collection that has car guys scrambling and their wives hiding the checkbook.

No 15th or 25th anniversary 'birds? ….and he calls himself a collector. For shame.
