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.

Today’s muscle car aficionado is well-versed on the second-generation Chrysler Hemi, which initially appeared in race form for the 1964 race season and in Street Hemi form from 1966 to 1971 in Dodge and Plymouth production cars. Because the Hemi had been in Chrysler cars from 1951 to 1958 in its original incarnation, the idea of a V-8 with hemispherical combustion chambers was not new, but as you can tell from author and publisher Ray Brock’s enthusiasm in the following cover feature from April 1964, it was nothing short of earth-shattering. —Johnny Hunkins.
