Thanks Stuart.
I would have bet a dozen donuts it was a 75 or 76 just because of the "theme".
And then owed somebody some donuts.
74 was a bit early of a release
He came close to getting us both killed in that car , closest near death experience I ever had.

The Buicks were 1975 and called Free Spirit (Red White Blue)
Said to be Century's (maybe the same thing as a Regal idunno)
They look WAY Cooler than the SoA Nova
I had never seen one before until I just googled it

They did the FreeSpirit again in 76 but it was Silver with Red Orange Black decals
I do remember seeing 1 of those around town back when.

Pontiac kinda did, if you picked the right options...

I remember seeing a 1976 LeMans in a scrap yard in Vermont. It was white with red guts and it had some stripes and such denoting it was an Olympic edition. It even had a hood ornament with the Olympic logo. The Olympics were in Montreal that year so maybe it was a Canadian car?

But I don’t think Pontiac did a bicentennial edition? I know they had a 50th anniversary of Pontiac thing on a GP that year.

I’m pretty sure that was a car offered- or at least a concept car.

At minimum ,,, 74-75 Grand Ams did have RWB stripe package option available from factory , on any color G/Am.
But if Pontiac did any of the Spirit cars , seems like they would have been 1976 models .
No G/A's in 76

I want to say it was a show car that had a custom spoiler- very similar to a Can Am spoiler.

Used to be a 4 door Grand Am just like that in a former girlfriends neighborhood in the 80's & 90's . Had snowflakes and 455 with 7.x Liter emblems on it.
Was the only 4 door I had ever seen in person.

Very cool car , and 4doors have gained more acceptance in my age group.
My last 3 drivers have been 4door cars.

OK, I usually don't post more than one a day, but I thought that this one deserved it. I had to do a double take seeing the location of the ignition key.
