Mr. Michael Matetich Jr. attended the Monthly Muscle Car Show last Saturday, April the 3rd. This car show is held at the Sonic Drive-In off of Custer in Plano on the first Saturday of the month starting this month through November. Michael entered the ’68 Camaro in the ’60′s Muscle Car Class. He also brought along one of the 2010 Inferno Orange Camaro 2SS’s.

And GUESS WHAT, the ’68 won BEST IN CLASS!! Conratulations Michael on your win. The thought and effort that you have put in your car payed off with the first showing. Also, congratulations and thanks to all of the Guys in the Service Department as well as the Body shop for all of their hard work and effort!!

Pontiac El Cami-”NO”

From Autoblog:

It comes as little surprise, but Cars.com has all but confirmed that the “El Camino” moniker has been nixed as a potential name of the new G8 Sport Truck. The site reports from a recent media event that a Pontiac spokesperson said that there was internal strife regarding use of the Chevy-associated nameplate on a Pontiac vehicle. Frankly, we agree with this decision. If GM wanted a legit El Camino, it would have simply handed the Ute to the Chevy division. GM has mismanaged its vehicle naming process enough as is — one needn’t look any further than Pontiac, where it’s nuthin’ but a “G” thang, baby… unless you’re talking Vibe or Solstice. Way to be consistent, guys.

Like everyone else, we’re curious to learn what the badge applied to the G8 truck’s tailgate will read, and it sounds like we should hear something fairly soon.

Is The El Camino Coming Back!

PONTIAC INTRODUCES SEGMENT-BENDING G8 SPORT TRUCK

NEW YORK – The 2010 Pontiac G8 sport truck blurs the line between cars and trucks and is creating an all-new segment in the North American car market. This dramatically different vehicle blends the sporty handling of a performance coupe with the cargo capabilities of a light truck.

Based on the all-new Pontiac G8 performance sedan, the newest member of the G8 family has a longer wheelbase and a cargo bed suitable for either work or recreation. The G8 sport truck significantly stretches Pontiac’s commitment to style and performance and is expected to arrive in dealers’ showrooms in late 2009.
