Orlando Pontiac car show
information about the car show coming up in Feb 2008.
We are very happy to annouce that we will have two very special guest at the show ........... JIM WANGERS !!!!!!!! and Paul Zazarine (noted Pontiac author !!!!!!!!!)
If your not sure just who Jim Wangers is do a google search. But basically Jim worked for the advertising agency that did all of the advertising and promotional work for Pontiac for most of the 1960's. I think Jim was the one that came up with "Wide Track" as a slogan. He also pretty much ran all of the performance marketing for all car lines. He was in on the GTO from the very begining. Any ad you have ever seen about the 60's GTO's came from him, including the famous tiger ads. He was responsable for setting up the performance upgrades at selected dealers such as the infamous Royal Pontiac "Bobcats".
He setup and ran the GTO events at nationwide dragstrips, was involved in the custom GTO seen on the "Monkeys" tv show, and countless other Pontiac programs.
For someone that actually never worked at Pontiac he had an amazing influence on Pontiac cars. Did I mention he had alot to do with creating "The Judge"?
He himself owns several Pontiac vehicles a few are as follows:
65 & 66 GTO
69 GTO Judge
67 Firebird
69, 79 & 89 Trams Am
97 Firebird Firehawk
Mr. Wangers rarely ever comes east of the Mississippi river and we are the only ones to have him....

Old-Town Hwy 192
Kissimmee, Florida
We are actively finalizing the last details of the event and look forward to all you Pontiac fans attending. It's going to be a great event with lots of nice prizes and more horsepower than one can phantom. Don't forget this may be your one last chance in a lifetime to meet Pontiac legend Mr. Jim Wangers & Paula Zazarine in person.
If ever you wanted a great photo of your car this is a great opportunity to get it. The event photographer has a large bus that they drape with a blue/green map screen. This enables the photographer to incorporate great looking backgrounds such as a beach scene, Old gas station, American flag, and much much more. The print is done on site and it's about 18x24 in size... Everyone that sees the final product wants one; it's that great!
I hear word that Chief Pontiac himself may be making a brief appearance too... Might make a nice photo opportunity?
