- "Some Tigers are Fierce. Some Tigers are Ferocious. We Build Both," 1965 Pontiac Tempest and GTO Automobiles - Pontiac called its GTO muscle car a Tiger. Fans called it a Goat -- perhaps for want of another animal with the letters G, T and O in its name. Both sides agreed on a third nickname: The Great One. While GTO wasn't an exact acronym for the phrase, the sentiment perfectly captured how enthusiasts felt about the car.

- 1965 Pontiac Tempest LeMans GTO Hardtop - Breathtaking acceleration, a race car name, and a relatively low price -- what's not to like? Pontiac's GTO was a hit, especially among baby boomers with first jobs or generous parents. Other automakers followed with their own big, brawny "muscle cars." But young drivers plus powerful engines produced more accidents and higher insurance rates. That -- along with rising gas prices in the 1970s -- ended the muscle car era.
