It was 1967, the year of the "Summer of Love," Twiggy, the first issue of Rolling Stone magazine and the first Super Bowl. Indeed, 1967 was a celebration of the youth culture, with music, love and peace underscoring the rhythm of an entire generation. And one of the songs of that era sang the praises of a "little GTO."

The 1967 Pontiac GTO, however, was anything but "little." At the height of the muscle car era, it was considered the king. With Ram Air, which acted as a supercharger, the GTO could go from 0 to 60 in just 6.1 seconds and, in a quarter mile, it could top 100mph. The GTO combined the lightest possible body and the biggest possible engine - a combination that had long been touted by hot-rodders and was now available in a powerful production car. Another classic product of this era - and every other generation for the past century - is Coca-Cola. Introduced in an Atlanta pharmacy at the end of the 19th century, Coca-Cola is today enjoyed around the world - a refreshing soft drink associated with the very best of times.

Now, the great American traditions of Coca-Cola and the Pontiac GTO are combined in a bold and dramatic die-cast replica. Marked with authentic Coca-Cola graphics and the contemporary advertising logo "Coke...After Coke...After Coke," the Coca-Cola 1967 Pontiac GTO is precision-engineered and meticulously detailed. It is produced by - and available only from - Matchbox Collectibles.
