1974 Pontiac Grand Prix review from North America
"Impractical, but Stylish"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission needed rebuild.
(C$500 in 1978.)
New thermostat needed.
New brake pads.
Steering column came loose and needed attention.
General comments?
Attention-grabbing car with outrageous styling.
Very nice to drive - smooth and powerful.
Prone to rust.
Small trunk space even though car is enormous.
Fine for 2 people.
