I came across a young man in his twenties at a store and I was surprised that he did not know what Oldsmobile was. He knew GM, Pontiac, Buick, and Chevrolet but did not know Oldsmobile.

You don't see many Imola Orange S2000 on the streets of LA. I guess this color was never an option for US bound S2Ks?

It was offered in Canada, but not the US. I like it, but if you ever have to repair a portion of the body it is super hard to copy/blend, I've seen some bad body paint repairs on Imola over here. The overall colour is produced by several layers of different colours coming together including the clearcoat.

I saw one here years ago. Not sure who owned it. That is $76K US. Not bad.

Reading some of the posts here made me realize that although I've driven some totally obscure brands over my lifetime, I've never driven a Pontiac. I don't know how I managed to screw that up. Pontiac had some nice muscle cars.

I used to be a Pontiac guy back in my high school hot ridding days. They built some pretty stout stuff although I did manage to blow up a 400 motor.
