By stock, I assume you mean price. Well, we could look at a few years ago when Oldsmobile was cut. Did every car made by Olds go up in price? No. Did every car they made go up in value? No. The classic Olds (442, etc.) maybe saw a slight jump in their already staggering value. But, the 80s Delta 88s (and the 80s 442) are still viewed as what they are, nothing special to some, and a slap in the face to their namesake to others.
Now, I think it would be correct to assume that certain Pontiac cars will see a jump in value. The Classics, such as the GTOs, 1st and early 2nd gen Trans Ams, and a few others I know I'm forgetting will see value rise. I doubt it will be significant at first. But maybe in twenty years, the fact that the company is no longer around will add to its valve. Other cars, such as the Grand Am, or (God help me for mentioning the name) the Aztek will never see their value rise because of the company. Not because they were bad cars (exception, Aztek) but because they weren't significant at the time they were made.

Anyone care to add or correct me?
