In the early 1960s, Pontiac was trying to find a new way to attract the youth market without involvement in competitive motorsports. John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee, and Bill Collins, along with a group of Pontiac engineers, crammed a 389 cubic-inch V8 into a midsize Tempest and took it to GM’s Milford Proving Ground. The Tempest was an instant hit, and would become the 1964 Pontiac GTO. First-year GTO production was slated to be 5,000 units, but more than 32,000 orders came in. The people at Oldsmobile wanted to cash in on the GTO’s success, so they created the 442 package for the Cutlass. The Oldsmobile 442 was named for the four barrel carb, four-speed transmission, and dual exhaust.

Aston Martin Bulldog. Perhaps to some of you this name says little or nothing. A quick briefing for the unaware, it was a concept presented in 1979, ready to be produced in a very limited series (10 or 15 examples at most) for very select owners, but as fate would have it, only the concept remained.

One of the rarest Aston Martins ever is about to return

One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance. This particular branch, despite its efforts to keep customers caffeinated and satisfied, has had its share of mixed reviews.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
