1980/81 dealership created Grand Prix GTO? This picture was taken in the New York area
by Eliezer Perez. I believe this car was created by Napoli Motors
in Milford, Connecticut. They are a Pontiac new car dealer that also carries a
selection of classic cars. They have a web page at http://www.napolimotors.com
A website viewer Drew Bickford has a little more information about these unusual dealer-created "GTO"s. He says; "I was looking at the wrecks section and saw you had a couple pictures of a 1980 something Grand Prix that had a GTO makeover by a Connecticut dealer. I grew up in Connecticut and became a die hard GTO fan in the '80's and remember seeing one of those cars at all the local shows. I looked back and found a picture I took of one at a big local car show we had. I then found an old copy of Cruisin' News from the Connecticut Cruisers Car Club that had a story on one such car. It has a good picture but it's black and white. The text says 'Back in 1985 and 1986 a Southern Connecticut Pontiac dealer was adding some GTO decals, a Firebird rear spoiler, dual exit muffler and blacking out the grills on Grand Prixs. All the cars were equipped with two tone paint, 305 4 barrel engine and rally suspension, they called it a GT Option.' I'll try to send you the pics I have when I can get them scanned." CLICK->

How about a set of GTO water skis? Ahh - these are made by Gladding Hedlund. They made water
skis and kneeboards, among many other watersports/recreation items. The B.F. Gladding Company
is a New York company in the village of South Otselic. They are the oldest and largest fishing
line manufacturer in the United States. At one time they expanded into the International Gladding
Corporation. They made many other sporting goods items such as rods, reels, lures, outdoor
clothing, toboggans, water skis, travel trailers, mini motor homes, truck campers, inflatable
boats and canoes.

I bet you didn't know Firestone built a GTO bike! Here is a gold one. It has the banana seat and
long handlebars. See how the rear fender is cut and flared up high? The fender is designed for
wheelies! Close-up of the Firestone emblem on this bike. Firestone also made a "Miss GTO" bike
for the girls. I spotted one at the 2004 GTOAA meet.
