New guy here
 
Hello everyone my name's Tom and I just joined. Not going to pretend I'm an expert on Pontiacs or anything else for that matter LOL. I'm 61 years old and live in a suburb east of Portland Oregon. I purchased my first Pontiac Sunday. I've been looking for a land yacht for awhile and sifted through a lot of junk until I happened upon a car I had never heard of before- a 1975 Pontiac Grandville Brougham. So i bought it. Great condition. Ash trays never used LOL. So I'm going to have lots of questions and I'm hoping I found the right place for education and comradery. Thanks for reading my post and looking forward to future conversations!

Welcome Tom!
I’m sure you’ll enjoy that big Poncho, and reading more here surely helps on repairs and issues you’ll probably encounter!
We had a big 71 Catalina when I was in HS, what a great riding car that was!

Unless I'm wrong, Grandville = 455.
