Going to this. Booked Wednesday off work. The Pontiac owners club reached out that they needed a 3rd gen firebird for the photoshoot. Well I have one of those in the garage. Wouldn't it be awesome to get this in a magazine to mark the current stage of the cars life after being stored for 6 years.
Pontiac celebrates its 100th anniversary this year and Kelsey Publishing, who own Classic American, Classics World and Classic Car Buyer Magazines are focusing on this milestone in forthcoming issues. The Pontiac Owners Club (UK) have agreed to arrange for particular cars which highlight the history of the brand to be featured on the front cover, as well as individual articles and real-world driving reviews.
The publishers are asking for very specific vehicles so we are individually reaching out to those who own something suitable for the photo shoot.
However, there's a great opportunity for all of us as we would like to invite you to attend in your Pontiac so we can park up together and set up as a club stand, offering refreshments to the magazine staff and giving them a space where they can conduct interviews. This is a chance for us to showcase the club and share our love for these cars and what it's really like to own and drive one in 21st century Britain. Although we can't all have our car on the front cover, they may take some other photos for an article on the club itself.
It's all happening at the South of England Showground, RH17 6TL (near Crawley, West Sussex) on Wednesday 28th October 2026 from 10.00am until 3.00pm. The location features private roads and undercover spaces in case the weather isn't ideal. We do understand that some of you may be unable to attend due to it being a weekday but strongly encourage those than can to come along as an opportunity like this may not happen again
