This concept vehicle is Pontiac's next effort at building their own version of the El Camino, created by fitting the front clip and interior of the all-new 1978 Grand Am onto an El Camino of the same year. It was intended as a proposal to make the GMC Caballero's appearance distinct and more up-market than the El Camino. Like it's predecessors, it was not approved for production, and ended up being used as a utility vehicle by Pontiac's engineering shops, being refreshed with some trim pieces from a 1980 Grand Am in a collision repair, before being retired and restored for GM's Heritage Collection, where it remained until being sold at auction along with many other vehicles from the company museum in 2009, as a consequence of GM's bankruptcy

RMS Carpathia, of the Cunard Line, best known as the ship which rescued Titanic's survivors, at Halifax, Nova Scotia, during 1912.

During the night of April 14-15, 1912, Carpathia's radio operator picked up Titanic's distress call. In response, Carpathia's captain drove his ship as fast as she could go through an ice field toward Titanic's position. However, despite being the closest ship to respond to the distress call, Carpathia was too far away to reach Titanic before she sank, and was only able to save the 705 people who escaped in Titanic's lifeboats. Carpathia's crew were lauded among the heroes of the disaster for their efforts, and received a number of awards from both the US and British governments.

Built in 1903, Carpathia was primarily used for trips between several Mediterranean ports and New York. During World War 1, she was used for a number of passenger voyages between Britain and the United States, as well as being occasionally used to transport American and Canadian troops to France. On July 17, 1918, while sailing as part of a convoy headed to Boston from Liverpool, Carpathia was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-55 south of Ireland, with the loss of 5 members of her crew.
