Were Formula's ever equipped with T/A style wheel flares?
Curious. I saw a 78 Formula with T/A style wheel flares. The car looked to be every bit a Formula, including hood scoops and the wrap around black bottom stripe with FORMULA callout at the rockers.
Was this a possible option? I've never seen the wheel flares on a Formula before. Thanks!

Not from the factory... but people changed all kinds of things on these cars.

Ok, thank you. The car in question had the wrap around FORMULA wide stripe around the bottom, which also wrapped around the wheel flare, so it looked very factory, very integrated. Threw me for a loop.

In the early 70s Stephen Pontiac raced in pro stock they had added TA parts on the forums they raced. It was deemed legal because the parts were considered a dealer installed option Idk that it answers the question but it was done enough that NHRA allowed it
Go to pintrest search Stephen Pontiac you’ll see the car

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.
