Stanley, WI 715-709-0343. In the American automotive landscape, the
years around 1970 were the era of big, and while the Grand Prix
wasn't the biggest offering from Pontiac, it was still plenty big
at 17 feet, 6 inches long. The Grand Prix was completely redesigned
for the 1969 model year, and featured the longest hood in
production car history. Pontiac was GM's sporty marque, and the
Grand Prix offered the intermediate-size buyer a bunch of sporty
extras including bucket seats and an aircraft-inspired wrap-around
cockpit to bring all controls closer to the driver. The Grand Prix
was available only as a two-door hardtop coupe in this era, and
112,486 of them were made for the 1969 model year. Production was
halved in 1970, with 65,750 made, and 1971 saw about the same
number. During the final year of this production run in 1972, just
over 90,000 Grand Prix coupes left the factory. The most notable
change in body styling came in 1971 with the addition of a boattail
molded rear deck lid. This matched the angled nose and hood
sculpting that had been included on the car from the beginning of
the era.
