not well known in the UK the company did have some pretty quick cars the GTO meaning "Gran Turismo Omologato," Italian for "ready to race." for one, many in the line up had a 300+ horse power engine giving it for the time a real bit of get up and go, but reading through some of the items today it appears that the company formed in 1926 nearly went to the wall in the 1950's but forward thinking market men then tagged the company to speed and racing, but it was not to last, I never owned one but a couple of friends did own a Pontiac Firebird each, so who will be next car company to go to the wall I wonder?
