As part of the latest GM bankruptcy proceedings, the Pontiac brand, founded in 1926, will cease to exist in 2010.

“We are saddened to learn of the demise of an American icon,” said Chairman and Founder of the Fairfield County Concours d’Elegance Bill Scheffler of Westport.

“But rather than look at it passively, we have decided to address the significance of this event for the American car enthusiast by bringing together a unique collection of Pontiac automobiles, among them America’s oldest Pontiac as well as the oldest Pontiac still with its original owner.”

“But we are going even further,” said fellow Westporter John Shuck, co-founder of the Fairfield County Concours d’Elegance and its director of operations.

“We are actively asking the media for help in locating America’s oldest Pontiac still in existence, as well as the oldest Pontiac which is still with its original owner today.

“We would like to invite both cars and their respective owners to participate in our event. We will transport their cars and will provide air fare and accommodations for two for the Concours weekend.” The event will be held Sept. 12 and 13 at the Fairfield County Hunt Club in Westport.

Owners from the lower 48 states who believe they or their car(s) may qualify for either one of the two spots can find out more about this quest and complete the entry form here.

The owner of the oldest Pontiac in private ownership will get his or her car transported to the Fairfield County Concours d’Elegance and back courtesy of FedEx Auto Transport. as well as receive two first class tickets from anywhere in the continental United States sponsored by United Airlines, as well as three nights accommodation at the Mandarin Oriental in Manhattan, sponsored by Mandarin Oriental, New York.

Equally, the oldest Pontiac still with its original owner will receive the same VIP treatment.

Selection criteria include foremost the age of the vehicle, the condition, the completeness of the application form and documentation, and date of application receipt.

All decisions are at the discretion of the Fairfield County Concours d’Elegance vehicle selection committee. Applications are due to the committee by Aug. 1.
