Yes, I know what you mean. That car and body style still seem new to me.

That show car could have been a soft window car. Porsche had a soft window production Targa in those years.

Is it a Pontiac or an Olds Cutlass Supreme? I hauled both out of Canada back then. I see it has T-tops so it could have been a one-off with a Targa style rear window. None that I know of ever came out of the GM Plant in St. Therese with the rear window area like this one has. If it was built in St. Therese none of us ever saw it. It could have been reworked in a custom shop and under cover sent on to the auto show.

I did a web search and it is an '80 Grand Prix.

As a side note..... believe it or not you could get a 1980 GP with a standard transmission. I did deliver a few back then. They'd be a rare car to have today. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q...04&FORM=IQFRBA Right side near bottom of the page.... red interior.

Looks like Oldsmobile center caps in the wheel covers.

Those are real wire wheels. They are Appliance Fine Wires with Pontiac arrowhead center caps.
