1968 GTO

Pontiac History - The first Endura bumper for the 1968 GTO is shown here on February 28th, 1967, at Inland Manufacturing, a division of General Motors. The story of how this material was developed is fascinating. It was first used back in 1964 on 'push' vehicles that pushed non-running cars around the Pontiac engineering garage. Inland continually improved the material. The first use of Endura on a production vehicle were Pontiac emblems that appeared on the noses of 1967 Firebird 400s and B-Body Pontiacs. The next phase was to develop an entire front bumper of high density microcellular polymer foam and coat it with urethane paint to match the factory applied body paint of a 1968 GTO. The original name for this material was Indura (all Inland Manufacturing products started with "IN") but Pontiac didn't want a marketing name to refer to another division, so they changed the name to Endura. Thanks to Paul Haines for his insight into the Endura story. - MCN

The subject moves from object to object in order to avoid confronting the fact that it misses the same lost object again and again. The perpetual movement of desire obscures its rootedness in missing the object rather than obtaining it. The subject fails to see that the object is satisfying as an object and not as a possible possession. When the subject invests itself in the fantasy of obtaining the object, it avoids the monotony of the subject’s form of satisfaction. One has dissatisfaction, but one also has a variety of objects that one desires with the promise of a future satisfaction. This future satisfaction never comes, and obtaining objects brings with it an inevitable disappointment. One thought that one was obtaining the impossible lost object, but one ends up with just an ordinary empirical object that pales in comparison. I believed that the piece of chocolate cake that I just ate embodied the lost object itself before I ate it, but after having done so I realize its underwhelming ordinariness.
