With
this post of mine as background, would any of the vehicles listed above along with the two supposedly seen by DR resemble a Pontiac 6000?
Sure.
I think so.
I think the Pontiac 6000 was an A platform GM product....which translates into something like a very generic looking square shaped car that all GM families offered....Chevy, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Buick. (not sure about Cadillac though..)
Really, most GM products from this era could be called one of 4 or 5 different cars depending on the knowledge of the observer.
But I'm getting a little confused with your own post your previously referencing. Where is the 6000?
...just from my first reaction I'd say Jared's abductor's car might be a 6000.
>>UPDATE <<ok I know what you're talking about now....the earlier incident with boys being harassed on their way to Tom Thumb that Joy discovered>>
First of all, it's very curious that these boys would choose 'Pontiac 6000' themselves in describing a car. It's kind of an obscure model, not really famous. I imagine someone, like the cops, showed them pictures of cars or took them out to a parking lot and had them pick out a similar example. BUT, if the boys really did have some good reason to specifically pick Pontiac 6000 then that is very valuable. I kind of doubt it. It was dark and they were scared.
Second of all, I think its more accurate to say that the boys really just meant they saw a standard American car of the era. Really. Unless these boys know something about cars I wouldn't even trust them to pick Ford v. GM v. Chrysler.
Third of all, this story from Joy is really something. My first reaction to reading it is that this is common, it is what older kids do to younger kids they happen to encounter. Also remember the boys with Jacob in their first reaction to the abduction thought that this might be a prank played by older boys. Even though my first reaction to this story is that it's just teenagers picking on younger boys, in the context of the biggest crime in MN history, this event happening to other boys going to TT could be huge. Also, I read this story and I think - this car and driver lives in the neighborhood. He pulls into a driveway and waits......Your thoughts?
