You might remember a little American car called the "Pontiac." (Hint: It came after Pierce-Arrow). Well, some of "Pontiac's" greatest hits will go up for auction in Indianapolis, Indiana at the Mecum Auction there from May 19-23.

Why would the owner of such lovely 1960s "Pontiacs" choose the Mecum auction to sell of his collection? We're thinking it might have something to do with the fact that the "Pontiac" owner in question is titled Dana Mecum, who is not coincidentally the president of Mecum Auction.

Anyway, five of Mecum's "Pontiacs" will cross the block (individually) including the sassy gold 1965 GTO, pictured above. That car, known as "The GeeTO Tiger" was given away as the grand prize of a contest during the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals and wears gold Hurst wheels and a gold Hurst shifter. The car gets its study from a record, released by the Tigers on Colpix records, the B-side of which was titled "Big Sounds of the GeeTO Tiger," and was a recording of the sounds of the car at GM's test track, with some priceless voice-over work. (You really should listen to it).

Also up for auction will be these racing and/or promotional Pontiacs: 1963 Catalina 421 Super Duty "Swiss Cheese," 1965 GTO Riverside 500 Pace Car, 1963 Tempest Coupe 421 Super Duty and 1963 Tempest Station Wagon.
