After 84 years, GM has officially announced that it will no longer be producing Pontiacs. GM's agreement with the Pontiac dealers expired on Sunday, Oct. 31, and due to the economy and the changing automobile market, GM decided to end the agreement. Any unsold Pontiac models will now be considered used cars by GM.

Although Pontiac earned a name for itself during the 60s and the 70s, Pontiac sales topped out in 1968 when the Firebird was one of the hottest cars to ride around in. But, with the rising gas prices came the decline in popularity of muscle cars. By 2008, only 267,000 Pontiac vehicles were sold. And, in April 2009, GM decided to drop the Pontiac name for good.
