A nicely sloping rear window leads to the trunk deck which follows suit and takes cues from the front with another V pointed rear panel, with underlying bumper. Body matching mirrors are on both sides, and a Cordova vinyl top is covering the roof very neatly. A deep coating of Bronzini Gold lusciously covers this steel slab sided car which appears to have been dipped in chocolate (without the drips!). Chrome is very nice and mirror-like on all surfaces where it is present. On the bottom this grill continues through the bumper “beak” and is flanked by a single headlight on either side. The relatively small, yet upright, grill is topped with long, flowing lines all the way to the back edge of the hood, which neatly conceals the windshield wipers. A great early 1970's pre 5 mph crash bumper, and a return to the single headlight have this in my opinion as one of the best-looking models of the Grand Prix offering. We have on consignment, a 1971 version of this large piece of Detroit iron which is presenting in very good condition. Pontiac's upscale, sporty car that offers full-size comfort along with sporty looks, spirited performance and all the whistles and bells, and the purveyor of the “wide track”. That's what is called "artistic license" and if anyone took advantage of this trick, it was the automotive ad men who put the images down for newspaper and magazine pages. Pontiac ad men of the day loved to stretch the images unnaturally wider, longer and lower than they were in real life.
