Everyone aspired to experience the thrill of owning a nearly racecar-like vehicle right in their own driveway. This Pontiac Tempest wagon, originally a family car, exemplifies this trend.

There is no doubt that Pontiac's 1960s-era cars would not have been as exciting as they were without the vision, insights, and pure determination that GM's automobile engineer and executive John DeLorean had.
