The 1958 Pontiac GTO
Pontiac completely redesigned the GTO for 1968. Offered only in hardtop and convertible body styles, the new car featured an Endura bumper, a body-colored urethane foam bumper bonded to a metal frame. General Motors redesigned all of its A-body intermediate cars for the 1968 model year. This was no mild facelift of existing chassis components; this was a top-to-bottom redesign of the cars. In David Newhardt's Pontiac GTO 50 Years, you get all the juicy details about Pontiac GTOs: the original muscle cars. Read on for more info on the '68 redesign:

The company's designers took the opportunity to apply the then-trendy pony car proportions- long hood, short rear deck, small passenger compartment-to GM's lineup of intermediate cars. Built on shorter wheelbases than previous A-body models (112 inches versus 115 inches), these cars began to blur the distinction between muscle car and pony car. The Mustang had grown in size for 1967, and both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird twins offered big engines. It was getting difficult to tell a pony car from a muscle car.
Dear ASD,

Save big on the Kindle edition of Phil Cross: Gypsy Joker to a Hells Angel , and get a behind-the-scenes look at some of America's motorcycle clubs. The book is available for just $2.99 TODAY ONLY at Amazon.com.
Phil CrossIn the early 1960s, a young Navy vet, motorcyclist, amateur photographer, and rebel named Phil Cross joined a motorcycle club called the Hells Angels. It turned out to be a bogus chapter of the club that would soon find infamy, so he switched to another club called the Night Riders. Like the bogus chapter of the Hells Angels, this turned out to be a club whose brotherhood was run by a man Mr. Cross describes as "a complete asshole." One day, Mr. Cross stuffed the leader in a ringer-type washing machine and joined a club called the Gypsy Jokers. He started a San Jose chapter of the Jokers and embarked on the most action-packed years of his life. The Jokers were in the midst of a shooting war with the real Hells Angels. The fighting became so intense that the Jokers posted snipers atop their clubhouse. This was a rough time, but it was also the height of the free-love hippie era, and as a young man, Phil enjoyed himself to the fullest. He never let anything as minor as a little jail time stop his fun. Once, while serving time for fighting and fleeing an officer, Phil broke out of jail, entered his bike in a bike show, won the bike show, and broke back into jail before anyone discovered he was missing. Though Phil was tough-he was a certified martial arts instructor-the Angels proved a tough foe. After multiple beating-induced emergency room visits, Mr. Cross decided that if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, so he and most of his club brothers patched over to become the San Jose chapter of the Hells Angels.

This book chronicles the life and wild times of Mr. Cross in words and photos.
