And now for something completely different. For your perusal, a 1979 Pontiac Grand Am. Is it rare? Well, only 4,021 coupes left the factory, along with another 1,865 four-doors. A far cry from the over 43,000 Grand Ams produced for its debut model year of 1973, when Pontiac described it as having "The feel of a Grand Prix... the response of a GTO... the qualities you've admired in the desirable imports."
Although it was probably a better handling/driving car than say, the Grand LeMans, Pontiac seems to have abandoned going after the import buyer in this the final year for the Grand Am until a new, front-wheel-drive version arrived for MY 1985.
Saw this one parked on a side street back in the summer of 2022.
