"A picture's worth a thousand words."
Sure you've heard it a million times, but that's because it's true. We'll prove it with 12 examples in this pictorial of Pontiac assembly line photos from 1964 through 1973. We'll let the photos do the talking while the brief captions simply point out some interesting aspects.
For some insight as to where in the process these Pontiacs are on the line and what is being done to them, HPP contacted Gary Gaff who began working on the Pontiac production line in 1972. He says, "Working on the line was a great learning experience. Later I discovered that more money was to be made in a skilled trade, so I went into the apprentice program. Since then I have worked in Engineering, Public Relations as a technician for fleet cars, and GM Powertrain at the global headquarters. Currently, I'm a system administrator in the Quality Network Preventative Maintenance Program."
With the Division officially retired after 2010, we are concentrating on the good memories and leaving the finger-pointing to the pundits on TV. So sit back, grab a cold one, and enjoy a little trip down memory lane.
