The Pontiac Grand Am was a mid size and compact car model made by Pontiac, a division of the General Motors car company. The Pontiac Grand Am was one of the best selling car models of Pontiac up to the time that it was discontinued.
The first model of the Pontiac Grand Am ever made was introduced in the 1970s, specifically in 1973. The car was a mid size car model which was made for high performance, featuring V8 engines and muscle car performance. However, the car soon proved to be unpopular in its time. At the time, fuel prices were rising and car buyers were beginning to shy away from high performance, fuel hungry cars. In the effort to improve the fuel economy of the Pontiac Grand Am, the car lost its performance profile. The car became uncompetitive with the import fuel economic vehicles at the time which were made with a lighter body compared to the heavier body of the Pontiac Grand Am. This first version of the car ended production in 1975. In 1978, Pontiac once again decided to revive the Pontiac Grand Am name and the new Pontiac Grand Am was introduced, based on the A platform of General Motors which it shared with the Pontiac Grand Prix. This version of the Pontiac Grand Am had several new car manufacturing features which were new at the time. The car was discontinued after its 1980 model year and was replaced by the Pontiac 6000. This version of the Pontiac Grand Am are the rarest models of the car available. The Pontiac Grand Am name was once again revived for the 1985 model year, this time positioned as a compact car. It became the replacement of the Pontiac Phoenix which was proving to be an unpopular car model. The car continued production until the 2005 model year. The 1985 to 2005 model year Pontiac Grand Am enjoyed great success and the car became one of the best selling car models of Pontiac. The Pontiac Grand Am was perfectly placed as an affordable, durable and comfortable car with sporty features. When it was discontinued, the car was the best selling car model of Pontiac.
The 1973 to 1875 model year Pontiac Grand Am vehicles were mid size cars built on the A-body platform of General Motors. The car featured a front engine rear wheel drive layout. This first generation Pontiac Grand Am was available with two V8 engine options which were a 400 CID V8 and a 455 CID V8. There were two available transmissions for the car. These were a four speed manual transmission and a TH400 automatic transmission. The rare, second generation of the Pontiac Grand Am was released in 1978 and continued production up to 1980. The car retained its mid size car designation and its front engine rear wheel drive layout. In 1985, Pontiac released the third generation Pontiac Grand Am. While the two preceding versions of the car enjoyed short runs and were out of production for a few years, starting with the third generation of the Pontiac Grand Am, the car was in continuous production until it was ended after the 2005 model year.
The Pontiac Grand Am is an excellent choice for a mid size and compact size car. The earlier models have near classic status while the later models are known for their reliability, impressive feature package and competitive pricing. Headlights by State:
