    It's terrible to hear of their demise. They did make some great cars through the years. Changing driver tastes... damn hippies.

    On a side note, I currently have a halfway restored 4-door version of the car pictured below. A 1948 Silver Streak Though I am going with a platinum colour.

    Good luck on the new line of work. Hope that turns our well for you. As for pontiac, it sucks to see them go OoB but sadly with the economy in its current state, there is nothing that can be done.
