The Aiken Standard invites readers to share photos and stories of Pontiacs from 1960s models like the Tempest to present memories. The piece notes Pontiac’s 1926 start and GM's plan to discontinue the line next year, highlighting reader nostalgia and anecdotes.
A memoir fragment recalls a 1970 Firebird named The Freebird bought for 800 dollars in 1979, its owner’s senior year at LBC, and a USC Aiken art painting from 1982 that endured despite a failed college sale. It traces decades across homes, travels, and memories of cars, art, and family.
A reminiscence recalls a 1950s Pontiac bought by the author’s father, later replaced bearings before 20,000 miles, and a Plymouth then a Miata and Prius. The writer shares owning a 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 named Frannie, with a cross country 1970 journey covering 12,876 miles and a final odometer of 156,000 miles. The piece honors a cherished car history.
