One of Pontiac's most iconic models in its 83-year run was the GTO, which looks strikingly similar to the Pontiac LeMans. But are these actually the same car?

Is The Pontiac LeMans The Same Car As The GTO?

Hot rodders owe a debt of gratitude to Pontiac, GM’s step-up brand from entry-level Chevrolet, for creating the muscle car segment pretty much from whole cloth in 1964. For his role in creating the GTO—an affordable midsized car with a larger 389ci V-8 from full-sized Pontiacs—chief engineer John Z. DeLorean was elevated to Pontiac division head in 1965. After getting off to an amazing start in 1964 (interestingly, the idea was to hide the large engine option, burying it in paperwork) with 32,450 being built, the GTO’s popularity peaked in 1966, with 96,946 units produced. When a revised intermediate A-body was introduced for 1968, sales rebounded again with 87,684 being sold. Nevertheless, by 1972, the last year of the GM A-body platform, GTO sales had slipped to just 5,807.

The Plymouth Belvedere carved a unique path in the muscle car world, establishing itself as a force to be reckoned with even before the iconic HEMI engines roared onto the scene. During a brief but impactful period from 1962 to 1964, the Belvedere became the unlikely host to the ferocious Max Wedge engine, a true trailblazer that paved the way for the HEMI’s future reign.

Rare 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee, the only one to jump off-screen, set for auction. What’s a General Lee? To car enthusiasts, it’s not just a defeated commander of the Confederate Army during the American Civil War, but rather a 1969 Dodge Charger that became a television legend. The "General Lee," famously driven by the Duke boys in "The Dukes of Hazzard," remains an iconic symbol of American muscle cars. While over 300 Chargers were wrecked during the show's filming, only seventeen screen cars are accounted for today. However, these weren’t the only General Lees ever made.

However, unlike other places like the golf course or the office, picking an outfit for the winery can be slightly more challenging. This challenge comes from the fact that wineries are meant to be slightly more upscale locations, but they aren’t entirely formal affairs. Certain rules and expectations come with visiting a winery and are largely influenced by the season you visit them in.

	In 2016, I had the privilege of sitting next to renowned automotive designer Marcello Gandini at a dinner hosted by Lamborghini in celebration of the 50th anniversary of its iconic Miura. We talked, through an Italian interpreter, about coachbuilder Bertone’s first design for the Raging Bull marque in 1966, penned by the then-28-year-old Gandini. To my surprise, he humbly confessed to having some reservations about a few details of what is, inarguably, the most beautiful Lamborghini ever made. Imagine Leonardo saying, “Her mouth was a little crooked, actually,” in reference to his Mona Lisa masterwork. Mustangs, Miatas, and Packards: Here's...
