This article gives Jim Wangers a lot more credit for the GTO than John DeLorean, is that how it went down? I thought it was Collins/DeLorean's idea with Wangers doing the marketing?

The conversation took place at a routinely scheduled engineering session/vehicle review at the Milford Proving Ground, which Wangers would not have been part of.

We still held those (every Friday morning) even during my generation.
