The Pontiac-Oakland Club International (POCI) was formed in 1972 by a small group of enthusiasts who wanted to pool information and foster enthusiasm for the Pontiac and Oakland brands. In 1973 the first POCI Convention was held in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Since then, local and specialty chapters have been formed throughout the United States, and abroad. The POCI Conventions have been held every year in a variety of different locations; our conventions feature car shows, tech seminars, guest speakers, drag racing, and swap meets. In 1998 GMC trucks were included due to their close relation to Pontiac.

The club’s newsletter, Smoke Signals, has evolved into a world-class magazine and has been Awarded for Excellence as a non-commercial publication. In 2006 and again in 2013 the magazine was redesigned; today, it is an 84-page, full-color magazine featuring articles, information, and news related to Pontiacs, Oaklands, and GMCs. Smoke Signals is also available in digital form with archives going back as far as 2006.

We are extremely excited about the future of the Pontiac hobby, we encourage you to join POCI and start experiencing everything we have to offer, including our Smoke Signals publication. 

We welcome anyone interested in Pontiacs, Oaklands, and GMCs of any year or model, stock or modified vehicles to join us. Just use the membership form provided and get into the action.

Whether you have an early Pontiac, a GMC, a muscle car era GTO, a full-sized WideTracker, an early or late-model Firebird/Trans Am, a Fiero, Grand Prix, Solstice, or G8; whatever you own we have a place for you and your car! POCI gladly accepts all, all are welcomed and considered a valued member of this organization.

We thank you for your time and look forward to seeing you at a POCI event soon!
