General Motors reached a high point in the corporation’s history in the mid-1960s. Its divisions were building segment-topping products, such as the Pontiac GTO and Buick Riviera. The brands were also experimenting with new tech, including the turbocharged Oldsmobile Jetfire and front-wheel-drive Oldsmobile Toronado. Plus, the C2 Corvette gave Chevy a sports car capable of competing against (and even beating) European performance models.
