As a kid in the 70s, I had eyes on the 50s survivors, now my favorites include the 61-2 GMs.

The 70's model Grand Prix,Monte Carlo and Olds Cutlass were all stylin'.

[@fredbrown3454]

Had a 76 Grand Prix LJ. One of my favorite cars I have owned in my 65 years. Just a beautiful design and performance. Pontiac always had well designed vehicles begining in the late forties. Cars now are more for transportation than works of art. Compare almost all of the early model cars to those of today. Then each year model was distinguishable. Now you cant tell one year model from the next.

[@billhann9054]

Thank you for saving these fine examples of rare American ingenuity.

[@stevewilliams9085]

The grand prix just had me crying. I was born in 75 i remember my father and his brother with 3 one was brown one was yellow and my father's was the original blue. This is also the first car my mother learned how to drive in (the blue one) now that they have recently retired (a year ago ) and are moving from newyork to south Florida i started driving trucks a few years ago with one purpose to find one restore it and give it to him for raising a cool dude. I love he will love it.

[@Spudmuffin00]

My friend's mom had the '76 Grand Prix in white. He picked me up to go to school and we started out late with about a 12 minute drive. Laying it out at 120 mph for about 1 1/2 miles will make up enough time to get there on time after all. My mom had a 1972 Grand Prix in white. 400cc, quadrajet carbs, and her favorite car to date.

[@deanplayer69metalplayer89]

BoomSon!! Nice!!! I need to record my mom smoking the tires off on her Pontiac that's a badass car man and I love the 70' Gand Prix when I bought my Olds I had a choice dude has 2 1977 Olds I wanted the white on white with a 4 speed on the floor but he wanted $3,000 more that the other one i got it's grey with a white top and had pimped out burgundy colors seats with gold stripes! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lowercherty]

Bought a 76 Buick Regal after college. Beautiful car, black with red interior. Gutless Buick 350 motor. Great car. I'm surprised the Pontiac had a new spare. There was an extended tire strike in 76 and my Buick came with only a spare rim. Became 1/2 of my snow tire set anyway.

[@727100bear]

I was 9 years old and actually with my grandmother the day she took delivery of her brand new 67 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Holiday Coupe at Oge Oldsmobile in Tyler, Texas. It looked identical - same gold paint and black vinyl roof - to yours in this video sans the Delta Custom optional features - additional side chrome, rear lower bumper tail lights etc. The interior was identical, though, and included factory air conditioning and an AM radio. I distinctly remember getting to sit in the back seat while the salesman described the operation of each switch and feature to her. The beautiful red center of the steering wheel was exactly the same with the Oldsmobile rocket emblem. She was so proud of the new Delta having traded in a blue 64 Chevrolet Impala 4 door hardtop for it. She was on the road a lot in this car and I had the privilege of getting to wash it frequently for her. I can still see every detail of the exterior in my minds eye from having washed it so many times. The Oldsmobile was truly a step up for her as it was more personal - a new sales concept at the time, especially for single buyers - luxurious and sporty. As a single working lady, the car represented a major accomplishment for her and she couldn’t have been more proud of it. Thinking back on that day I couldn’t have realized until years later how much this meant to her at the time. Seeing your car in this video brought back all those vivid memories from that day 53 years ago at our local Oldsmobile dealer in Tyler. Thank you so much.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

We don't believe it ever saw any snow... My Grandfather and his Wife at the time did Florida every winter so it didn't see any salt or snow under his care-(but some small dents in the doors due to the narrow garage 😆!)... My Mom had the top of the tu tone repainted in 1988 then had the whole car repainted by a car buddy if ours a year or two ago... We just put her up for winter..

[@1977_Buick_Regal]

How many would take that 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix over that '60s Oldsmobile?

[@dkeefep11]

GP for sure, starting to get good money for or them, its about time. I have a 72, 455 power seats, windows locks and air conditioning. Its triple white but interior isn't as nice as the 76. I also had a 77 that was all black but had the little 301 motor. Not enough umph for me. GM screwed up shutting it down, the G8 was a badass modern car. Best styling in years finally got it back and they shut them down.

[@KLRHEMI]

I would in a Heart Beat. I owned two 1977's

[@bigsid54]

Style over substance in the later 70's. Slow and unimpressive...

[@myrryxmas]

I had a '76 Grand Prix... ok car, but the back seat was little more than a nicely padded shelf for groceries. there wasn't enough leg room for my then-8 year old daughter. also, performance sucked. 0-60 in 17 seconds, standing 1/4 mile in 23. add to that a hard ride with too much body roll (stiff springs with too-small anti-sway bars) and the thing handled like a greyhound bus. mileage wasn't bad with the 350-2V (16 city, 20 hwy), but if you wanted one of these that could at least get out of it's own way the 455 was the only option... but even back then with $0.59 gasoline, 13 mpg highway could get really salty....

[@dannmarceau]

I remember both cars, they were common, the pontiac I was getting my drivers license that year.

[@cherrypickerguitars]

It’s 2021 now! It’s the first time I’ve ever seen the car I learned to drive in! It’s the Olds! My Dr father had one (he thought Cadillacs were too pretentious) He passed it on to my mother when he bought his next..... Olds 88, a ‘72! (A 4 door, though). My mom taught me to drive in 1973. Thanks for this! (8 yrs old or not! lol)

My mother owned a brand new 1976 Pontiac Grand Prix. It was white with a red interior and fully loaded. it was sitting on the showroom floor of Stan Chazen Pontiac in West Los Angeles on Santa Monica Blvd. Sticker price was over $6000. She was actually given the car by her rich employer. My mother used to be a private nurse for a rich elderly couple who lived in Bel Air. They loved my mother so much that they told her to pick out any car she wanted and they would pay for it. When the old man died it was in his will to give her a black 1973 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham they had owned. It had only 23K miles on it and that was in 1977.

I used my dad's '76 Grand Prix to do the road test to get my first drivers license. White with a red landau top and red interior and red pin striping. What I thought was interesting was the slots in the chrome bumper for jacking up the car, the jacking points.The tire iron was the handle for the jack. Can't do that now.

So nice to see something other than Chevelles and Camaros - when I go to a show I am typically drawn to cars that are unique, unusual, or of a make and model you haven’t seen for awhile. These “personal luxury” cars from the ‘60’s and ‘70’s are so fun to look at after you have been bored to tears by row after row of over-restored muscle cars!

You were stylin' if you had one in 1983 too! I had a 1977 with a 400, triple black with leather interior and Hurst T-Tops. That car was absolutely gorgeous! Turned heads and got compliments everywhere I went. Took it from NY to LA, and it was a dream to drive. Yes the T-tops leaked like a sieve, but they made the car look so much cooler, and a blast to drive with them out. Mine came with big leather pouches to store them in so they wouldn't get scratched. Seeing this video brings back good memories!

[@bshingledecker]

I had a 75 Monte, triple black. The Chevy equivalent. Sunroof dripped too! Was like driving a couch. 350. 18mpg on highway with the cruise engaged.

[@waterheaterservices]

Dripping T tops is the kind of non sense that helped Toyota eventually exceed GM in sales, the 82-92 Camaro / Firebird were really bad about that. I would have a large collection of 1970s GM cars if I could, they had a lot to like about them, but the body, interior and trim quality was not what it had been in the 60s. I had a 1966 Sedan Deville, a 1966 Toronado and a 1975 Fleetwood S75 limo, there was a obvious difference, but the style of those 70s cars... sweeet!

My 73' GP was one of the best cars that I've ever owned, I still miss it, but the wreck of 84' totaled it, I got 2400 bucks for it, but thinking back now, I wish I could have fixed it up, those things were tough, it bent a 67' Buick wildcat almost in half and was still running great ,didn't even have frame damage, but I was 18 and didn't know what I know now.

My Mom had a 76, triple black. It was one sweet car!

[@Doobie1975]

1967 was my favorite of the big Oldsmobiles, I especially love the headlights.

[@chuckthurmond]

Amazing. My first car was a 1977 Grand Prix LJ. I will bookmark this video and watch it when the nostalgia is strong.

[@BenShapirosLowerLip]

Had a girlfriend back in high-school 15 years ago that drove one of these, fun times.

[@ANDREWSAMY562]

"it's like a big Prius" I'll just pretend I didn't just hear that lol

[@driverain2]

Produced in my 15th thru 19th years of age , these truly are grand classics to me. Fond memories and a great car collector. Saving the truly great big cruisers......thanks !

[@elmowilson298]

That 76 Grand Prix was huge on its time. Those were the days

[@plcc07777]

I purchased a shiny new black Grand Prix from the now defunct Sigler Buick-Pontiac dealership in Princeton, KY back in 1974. Mine did not have the T-Tops, but it had the white seats. My door panels were black (I never saw another one like that). Mine had AC and the 400ci engine. As the man says, I was stylin' & profilin' back in those days and this video brought back a lot of fond memories. I miss the good ol' days.

This way motors should be built, easy to work on, not compact no computer crap

[@davidjames666]

Faith Roberts if agree that the engine, transmission, and emissions should continue to be computer controlled, then I agree with you. Reliable auto computers were IMO mastered in 2002 by GM where Old school knobs and dials were actually controlling computers, and servos. Today's touch screens and stuff are crap.

[@deborahchesser7375]

If you kept your foot out of it that GP would get 20 on the highway

[@Sheehy223]

Yeah nothing like a 6.6 Liter V8 that makes all of 150 Horsepower

[@DougZbikowski]

If they’re computer controlled you don’t have to work on them as much 😉

[@robertpryor7225]

Beautiful & historical, but gas hogs, polluters, death traps.

[@SHPD709]

I loved my 74 Pontiac Grand Prix.

[@exittiming2789]

My parents had the exact same Delta 88 model in the same color (champagne metallic), bought new in ‘67. Traded it in on a new ‘71 Toronado. I remember the car well. You couldn’t see out the back window due to the extremely slanted fastback design. Very cool car!

[@anymajordude1100]

exittiming M the Toronado was a beautiful car too. I was too young to drive when it was out but I remember my parents marveling about the front-wheel drive.

[@toinimoore3463]

We had 1960 Pontiac Bonneville had all the features was red outside and inside the kids loved it when my parents gave them rides in it and I was in high school in late 60s😁😍

[@antoniomontano6146]

I love the trunk space! You can fit 4 bodies in there!!

[@Rampant_Colt]

I can remember going to the Pontiac dealership with my old man, thumbing thru the color catalog that contained the different models, colors and engine options. Then using a pencil, check off the boxes for the options. After that you had to haggle over the price with the sales staff, then wait sometimes two months for the car to get built. When the phone rang (this was before caller ID) we would see who could answer it first hoping it was the dealership with good news! I can remember a '75 Monte Carlo my dad ordered, and it came with the wrong color vinyl top! White over maroon instead of black!

[@SnackBarStudio]

I really miss my 1979 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. First REAL car I ever owned.

[@henryhawkins1194]

I had the 1977 Grand prix SJ model with black exterior and red interior. This car had t-tops, honey comb wheels, and trans am dual exhaust. Only true Pontiac fans know what I mean about the exhaust. Man I wish I had that car still. Like a young man who didn't know what he had, I traded it in 1984 after owning it for a couple of years. 😥

[@jamesy5607]

Had a 77 GP - crushed blue velour interior - it was loaded - t tops ( that leaked LOL) - AM/FM 8 track and CB - car rode like a dream

[@SAGERODS250REM]

Beautiful cars so nice to see them survive and be cared for. My older brother had a 74 Monte Carlo back in 75 this Grand Prix reminds me of it they are likely the same platform. Who remembers this " YOU GOT IT PONTIAC".

[@JF-em6hr]

Relaxing cars, relaxing video, un-relaxing background music.

[@jamie.777]

This is my favorite style and era of cars, just look at that front end, gorgeous tanks..... I am so jealous, I wish I had disposable income ....

[@kennybranshaw7526]

That OLDS is the stuff!!

[@gmp3699]

I had a 76 GP. It was one of the best cars I ever owned. Despite constant rust problems even though it was garaged, I wish I never sold it.

[@donaldwhitten2438]

I love both cars but that PONTIAC IS AWESOME

[@oldpirate7434]

Had a used 76 Grand Prix SJ in the same color combo in 78-80 in Ohio, had to sell it because I was going overseas ( Military ), it was a tank!

[@manicmechanic448]

I once put a super duty cam in a 73 455 in an 76 GP. It was great it had police intercepter rear gears and transmission, handicap tags, and was driven by a 5" tall 80 year old man. I learned to tune carbs from him.
