1966 gold GTO with a black vinyl top featured in this vintage two page magazine ad. The car picture has the rare red fender liner option. The ad states, "To all the other cars from the GTO: What's new, pussycats?" Pontiac often used tigers or references to tigers in their ads. Former Pontiac marketing man Jim Wangers tells a story about an incident when they tried to use a tiger in a TV advertisement. They were filming a 1966 GTO commercial when they put a tiger in a car. Something spooked it and it just went nuts. Everybody on the filming crew ran away and after about 20 minutes, the tiger tired itself out and the animal trainer was able
to get it back in the cage. The car interior was damaged. Unfortunately, nobody left their camera on, so the episode wasn't caught on film. CLICK->
