Jim Wangers, author of the book Glory Days: When Horsepower and Passion Ruled Detroit, was interviewed for Fox Business News on June 2nd, 2009.

The legendary Pontiac marketing wizard and GTO guru spoke on the recent demise of the Pontiac brand.  "The facts are that after the wonderful glory days of the 1960's and the 1970's, General Motors proceeded to destroy . . . one of the greatest assets they had, which was the images - what it meant when you started to talk about a Chevrolet or a Pontiac or an Oldsmobile or a Buick or even a Cadillac - everybody knew what you were talking about."

Glory Days was also recently reviewed for Jalopnik.com.  Reviewer Murilee Martin was even kind enough to include a nice gallery of images from the book.

"All in all, a good read even for those who don't have any particular love for the GTO. Wangers is a pro writer, so you won't end up clutching your head in incomprehension or groaning at yet another passage in generic ghost-writerese, and you'll come away from the book with a much improved understanding of the way marketers create our cars. Four-rod rating; Murilee says check it out! "

Jim Wangers, legendary Pontiac ad man and one of the original innovators behind the beloved Pontiac GTO, commented this week on the apparent demise of the eighty-three year old GM brand:

"Pontiac has been mis-managed for the last 35 years with one 'GM Solider' after another assuming the Divisional leadership," Wangers notes. "After an extended era under three great leaders, 'Bunkie' Knudsen, Pete Estes, and John DeLorean who help establish the great 'Wide-Track' image, Pontiac suffered terminally. One General Manager after another could never understand what it meant to be a Pontiac."

"Trying to run the Division like a business they proceeded to lose the youthful, sporty, performance identity falling invisibly into 'just another nice GM car'. Failure was inevitable as one great model name like Bonneville, GTO, Trans-Am, and Grand Prix fell into oblivion."

Wangers concludes, "The great 'Wide-Track' era which took 10 years to build, took 35 years to destroy."

Jim Wangers earned widespread renown for the promotion and marketing behind such Pontiac successes as the GTO, the Can Am and the "Judge" as well as being part of the inspiration for the famed Woodward Cruise held every year in Detroit, MI. Today, Wangers is also known for establishing Automotive Marketing Consultants, Inc. (AMCI), the first company authorized by the FTC to conduct head-to-head automobile comparisons for use in automotive advertising.

Greg Vasileff's MINI Cooper S race car is now at MINI of Inskip. They are sponsoring his vehicle and he now has a cool place to store it for the off-season.
I have been offering technical help when I can to Greg since last winter. I had a chance to visit with him and see the car in person at NHMS this past summer.

The car is great looking, fast and real crowd favorite. I am happy to be on board. What ever that entails.

Bentley Publishers congratulates author Karl Ludvigsen for his honors at the annual Guild of Motoring Writers [www.gomw.co.uk] dinner Friday, December 12 at the Royal Automobile Club in London.  Ludvigsen took home three awards, including the Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy, presented by the Lord Montagu himself (pictured above on the right with Ludvigsen), for his landmark book Ferdinand Porsche - Genesis of Genius.  This trophy is given annually to "the Guild member who makes the greatest contribution to recording, in the English language, the history of motoring or motorcycling." 

More on the awards ceremony below:

Hat Trick of Awards for Journalist-Author

LONDON 12 December 2008 - In a glittering ceremony at the Royal Automobile Club here, three of the twenty awards given by the respected Guild of Motoring Writers for 2008 went to a single honouree. Suffolk-based Karl Ludvigsen was the recipient.

The Guild's Award for Automotive Technology Journalism went to Ludvigsen for his article about the evolution of the Porsche 911 engine published in AutoAficionado magazine. The award, which recognises 'excellence in writing technical articles valued by specialists but also interesting to non-specialists,' was presented by its sponsor, technology communications company Market Engineering.

For the second time Karl Ludvigsen received the Aston Martin International Trophy, 'recognising excellence in journalistic achievement by a Guild member working in the international field.' The award cited Ludvigsen's in-depth profile of controversial FIA president Max Mosley, published in America's Automobile Quarterly.

Ludvigsen's third award-perhaps the most prestigious-was the Montagu of Beaulieu Trophy, sponsored by Mercedes-Benz and presented by Lord Montagu, creator of Britain's National Motor Museum. Its recipient is 'the Guild member who makes the greatest contribution to recording, in the English language, the history of motoring or motorcycling.'

Recognised by the judges for 2008 was Ludvigsen's Ferdinand Porsche-Genesis of Genius. A magisterial history of Porsche's early life and work, it was published by Bentley Publishers. This was Ludvigsen's third Montagu since he was the Trophy's first winner in 1972.

'I hardly know what to say,' reacted a surprised Ludvigsen. 'I'm very grateful to the Guild and the judges who thought these works deserving. These awards are tremendously motivating to an author. I'll do my best to live up to their standards.'

As well as trophies the awards carried cash prizes. Karl Ludvigsen was £3,500 better off after the evening.
