1942-1948 Pontiac Registry
Created
by Don Hinsberger in order to provide and gather information about these
Great but sometimes overlooked American Automobiles
Send in your Pontiac
info and I will make you a free personal webpage!
Add your Pontiac page to the growing
list at the bottom of this page before I run out of webspace!

I will be adding to this page as more info
becomes available. Thanks to Jack Paul
for helping to get it started. I have a lot to learn about these cars.
So, come on guys send me some stuff. And I hope it warms up enough for
you to get those Pontiacs outside soon!
Site Notes:
These site was written with Netscape Composer.
This website is my first try at this type of
thing. If you have encountered any problems or have any questions or suggestions,
feel free to contact me.
For first time contacts: Please
let me know where or how you found this site.
***
Font note: The font that I used at the top of the personal pages is supposed
to be "Olde English" however, if you are using Internet Explorer it is
probably just in plain text on your computer. It seems to work fine
with Netscape.Or it might just be that you do not have the "Olde English"
font on your computer. I can send you the font if you would like. That
might solve the problem. It looks very official at this end. And the text
even lines up. So for now let's say "Best viewed
with Netscape" Not an anti-Microsoft thing or an endorsement,
it just turned out that way!
***
If any officer of the Early Times Chapter finds this page I will
be glad to add to or change the page I have for the
Early Times Chapter
on the Links page. I hope someday to have someone do for the 26-41's and
the 49-54's what I have started here. I'll be happy to help you get started
and link up with the new sites. I have been contacted by quite a few owners
of other years looking for some kind of support that I can't give at this
time. I hope help for them arrives soon!

02-19-04 Just a quick note to let you know the first update
of '04 is done and I've added a '48 Sport Coupe to the registry.
If you haven't noticed I switched servers from PCMagic to Verizon. Since
I only get 5mb of webspace from Verizon and the registry is now taking
up12mb, I had to come up with more room in a hurry. Lucky for us, Ryan
Caster stepped up and donated all the server space we'll need for years
to come and spent some time reworking all the links that are involved.
Thanks for making it possible
for the registry to continue to grow.
***
03-07-04 Finished up another new page tonight and there where three
eariler in the week. I'm all caught up again except for Oscar Garcia's.
I'll try to get his done next week. His car lacks the VIN plate and the
original engine is long gone so I'll have to omit that from the page. He
also is likely to hold the record for the number of emails sent. It's gonna
be a big deal to edit that all down to one page. Gotta admire his enthusiasm
though, I think some of it has rubbed off on me.
When I get that page done I'm gonna try and "streamline" the home page
before it sets a record itself.
On a side note my godson came up from
Dana Point to play in a soccor tournament at one of the schools in our
city. It was nice to see him and his family again and boy was it hot!
It got up to 87 degrees here today and they're saying it's gonna be 90
tomorrow! Yikes. Is it really time to turn off the heater and take
the ski racks off the car? We had all the windows open for the first time
since last fall. Soon enough it'll be show and shine time for sure.
Hope you are looking forward to summer as much as I am.
***
03-09-04 All caught up with new pages finally. Where's all
the other owners?
***
03-22-04 Two in and two more added tonight. Keep your forms
and photos coming in.

06-26-06 My sincerest apologies for letting the site lapse
for so long. Life gets in the way and priorities and interests change.
I hope to get it rolling again. I'm grateful for those of you who have
kept things alive at the message board. Being responsible for bringing
you all together is something I'm very proud of. I started this site out
of a sense of being alone in my love of my cars. Back then there were very
few sources for information and advice. Since that time the internet has
been a great boon to our hobby.
I have not done anything to my
cars except walk past them for too many years. That part saddens me. One
of these days when my two daughters are out of college (only 3 or 4 more
years hopefully) and I have the time and resources (read CASH) to invest
in my 3 Pontiacs I know they'll still be there waiting patiently.
Not doing anything to the website for over two years frankly, embarrasses
me and causes shame. I can't say for sure that you out there will be patiently
waiting for me like me cars will. I'm sure many have given up already.
After receiving a phone call from a
POCI member I realized my ad in Smoke Signals still had my old email and
webaddress. Let's call that the straw that broke the camel's back. I sent
and email and hopefully they'll get the ad updated for mext months issue.
That should bring in a few new owners. I'll put up a note on the message
board for new people who want webpages made that I need their info and
photos again. I think I've had 3 or 4 computer crashes since the last update.
I hope I remember how to do all this. Thanks again for your patience. Let's
Roll!
More to come- stay
tuned.
