Due to a combination of rising gas prices and an unfocused marketing campaign, the 1975 Pontiac Grand Am would be the last year of this generation of large mid-sized sedan and coupe. Trying to bill it as a combination of luxury and performance, as well as the best of both American and European engineering, Pontiac's target audience seemed too vague and widespread to generate much enthusiasm. Cosmetic changes were in store for the 1975 Grand Am. The 12 front grilles went from horizontal slats to vertical slats, and body-colored bumpers were added. The V8 engine choices were unchanged. The 400 blocks got either 170 or 200-hp depending on whether it was a 2-barrel or 4-barrel carburetor. The 445 V8 was rated at 250-hp. Despite its performance car suspension, tuning, and tires, no manual transmission was available, only a 4-speed automatic. Reclining bucket seats in either leather or corduroy sat in front of a racing-like dash trimmed out in mahogany wood, much like the Grand Prix. A hood release, headlight dimmer, lumbar support, and pile carpeting were just part of an array of standard features. Overall, critics liked the 1975 Grand Am's handling and engine performance and interior styling, though the seats were not as supportive as they claimed to be.

I ordered mine from the factory to my specifications. The previous writer got a few things wrong about the equipment. First, the big engine was a 455 cubic inch, not a 445. Second, there were no adjustable lumbar supports in '75. I was disappointed when I arrived to take delivery and found the roof line had a crease in it where the panels were welded. Also, the bucket seats leaned toward the middle of the car, and one of the wheels was not true causing the car to wobble at low speed. After three years the body started to rust despite undercoating and meticulous care, and the electrical system started to fail. Not the engine electrical, the chassis electrical. Dome light stayed on and the heater/AC blew hot air all the time. Despite it's shortcomings I loved driving it. It was smooth and quiet at speed, any speed. Capable of cruising at 85 mph plus, comfortably with lots left, although I never knew how much because the speedo only went to 100. It also had the same dash and seats as the Grand Prix so it was very comfortable.

There is not much to write, I fell in Love when I saw the car the first time back in 1988 when I was stationed in Texas. Sold it one year later when I went back to Germany. I regret to have sold it ever since. luckily another (white9 Grand Am found a way to me.

This is my second A body Grand Am. The first was a 1974 which I drove its wheels off. The one I own now is a 1975 Arctic Blue with less than 60,000 original miles. Starts and runs like new and handles better than ever. Stays in the garage and is only driven on weekends to cruise ins.
