Royal Pontiac did not exist after 1970. When DeLorean left for Chevrolet, Ace Wilson Jr. lost interest in this special high performance dealership because Jim Wangers whom Delorean allowed to be the link with Pontiac engineering and this dealership lost this link with the new management team at Pontiac. Ace Jr. did not want to stay involved with out Jim. Wangers tryed to buy the dealership but Ace Sr. would not sell it to him because Jim was a Jew. The Wilsons end up selling the race team and the performance arm of the dealership to John DeLorean's bother George, who owned Leader Automotive, a Detroit area speed shop and sold the new car sales that just became another regular Pontiac dealership.
