Taken Out Behind The Barn

One year ago today, General Motors announced they would kill off the Pontica brand.  Like every other automaker they made some good cars

and some bad cars. 

By the 80s they were mostly making cars based on the platforms of other GM products.  When they announced the end I thought GM was making a mistake.  Not that they didn't need to reduce the number of brands. No, that made sense. I thought that Buick seemed the logical choice.  It had a low sales volume and could easily be supplanted with Cadillac models.  Shows what I know.
