Information Credits
I thought I would give credit where credit is due. I am not a wellspring of information. I have gathered information from various sources from the Internet and also from some of the books listed below. Some of this information is from original sources from 1978 like the Pontiac Dealer book and other brochures and items from 1978 and other years.
