Big, Brawny Sedans

Originally published in Car and Driver magazine in May 1967.

Pontiac has been very successful in the past few years with its big, brawny sedans. Last year, the Pontiac Bonneville won the Full-Size Sedan category, outdrawing the Ford Galaxie; this time the Catalina! Grand Prix models did the same job, even increasing the margin of victory slightly. We’ve tested the Pontiac GTO, the 2 + 2, the Bonneville, and just about every Pontiac you can name—except the Catalina and the Grand Prix. Which prompted us to get things moving on a Grand Prix road test for an upcoming issue. We caused a big stir in March, 1965 by pitting a Pontiac 2 + 2 against a Ferrari 2 + 2. Pontiac builds cars you can do that with.
