At just 43 years old, he was the youngest division head in GM history up to that point. Knudsen got Pontiac’s reinvention going by overseeing its entrance into NASCAR and NHRA competition. He also shook up its engineering division and brought in some fresh faces, including an engineer by the name of John Z. DeLorean. In a few short years, the brand went from an unfashionable marque to one that was on the rise. How would it follow this up? With a low-cost 2-seat sports car.
