The Scotch Yoke mechanism is applied in a unique way.

Stuff like that is why Pontiac is the one GM division I actually miss.

^^ GTO was always one of my favorite muscle cars. My dad had a navy blue 1970 which he "promised" would be handed down to me. As the next guy drives away in it a year later. LOL

GM did a lot of work in the 60s with small cars and alternative power.

Since the Netzis have banished motor vehicles from sites I can visit, I can't post links, but here are some interesing things to google:

1969 Progress of Power

xp-511

xp-512

xp-883

GMC Bison (it was at the 1964 World's fair

We had a couple of those running around town (minus the Buick engine) in the 70s. Lace paint, mag wheels. I thought they were awesome. I don't know whether that says more about my taste as a ten year old, or the seveties ingeneral.
