Original magazine ad for the 1966 GTO, shown wearing non-production 8-lug wheels. In response to the media criticism about high-perf cars not being to stop, Pontiac had plans to offer 8-lug wheels on GTO's. But high costs, along with the fact that disc brakes were on the way, killed the proposal, but not before this ad appeared in dozens of magazines.
