This Pontiac Pegasus was one of the dreams of General Motors' design chief, Bill Mitchell. His efforts produced a parade of memorable concept cars and custom cars. This concept car is powered with Ferrari V12 drivetrain, hardware and gauges. The engine, a 365 GTB/4 (Daytona) V12, was offered by Enzo Ferrari and sealed the deal for this concept car.

I don't know how many of you are in my age bracket . . . say 65 to 70. These cars were nothing more than everyday transportation to us. Many of us owned one of these Muscle Cars that they purchased new and/or a few years old. And one thing many of them agreed upon was that RWL tires looked really cool . . . until you hit a curb with one of them.

It made such a mess of the RWLs that you couldn't fix like you could with a WSW or a Red Line using a Brillo Pad and a lot of Elbow Grease. It looked awful and required replacing the tire which hurt financially if there was plenty of tread left.

Today, we see RWL tires on so many Muscle Cars (whether they were actually available or not) and why not. These cars are show cars - if they are even driven at all. Not much chance of hitting a curb with them is there?

Maybe that's why cars today are mostly blackwalls . . . are people hitting curbs more today then yesteryear? :dunno:

Stealth Super Bee. If you ordered the base 383 or the 440+6 and no Ram Air - this is what your "B" would look like. No engine callouts.

A rare 1969 Charger R/T ad. It's rare because you will notice there is a typo in it. The Hemi was 426 CI or 425 HP - but not 426 HP.

You will also notice that the car doesn't have the Charger blackout grill so it's a preproduction car.

This was the drawing that created a bit of a brouhaha within the art/marketing dept. of Pontiac. One of the brass didn't like it because "half the car is covered in snow!" Art Fitzpatrick and Van Kaufman went to see John DeLorean and explain it. He looked at it, listened to them and claimed "looks go to me - go with it."
