One of the men who can be held personally responsible for bringing General Motors to muscle car prominence in the 1960s is Jim Wangers. An automotive design hopeful turned advertising guru, Wangers is responsible for Pontiac's performance enthusiast marketing campaigns of that foregone era of drag racing down Woodward Avenue and cars that you can take directly from the showroom to the race track and blow the doors off of just about anything. One particular Pontiac that Wangers was responsible for was the 1969 [Pontiac GTO->ke406] Judge, he even commissioned the rack band Paul Revere and the Raiders to take part in the car's launch campaign and got George Barris to build the Monkees a modified GTO.
