Wondering if there are any Can Am experts out there that have any idea how many were made with t-tops. I personally have seen about 5 different.

I think Rick has the dirt on this one, as I think any Can-Am's with t-tops would have been either a dealer option or an aftermarket add on. They did build a few with sunroofs however.

I've seen 1... Years ago... It seems to me, all Collonade T-Top cars were sent to Cars & Concepts for the t-top treatment...
Don't quote me on that as Hurst was known for that with the F- bodies and Cadillac Eldorados... |

Can-Am's were not built on the "Colonade" body, they were built on the "sport coupe" body.

The Hurst Hatches were a dealer installation on the A-body cars. so its is nearly impossible to tell how many were converted. I have seen 3 cars that were T-Top.
The glass and steel sunroof cars were factory assembled, but very rare. I don't have a production breakdown on these options. I have seen one with the glass and 4 with the steel.

The Lemans, Grand Lemans, Luxury Lemans and Lemans Sport Coupe, Grand Am, and CanAm were all called 2 door Colonnade Hardtops in the factory dealer brochures. Even the 4 door cars were called Colonnades. The only Pontiac a-body not called the Colonnade was the wagon.

Brian,
I wasn't sure about the collonade term and what it was applied to, I figured it was the same for all, except wagon, like Steve said. It was 1 CA with T-Tops that I have seen up close and personal... The very first CA I had ever seen to be precise. |

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
