1979 Pontiac Trans Am PACE CAR

     
       

1979 PONTIAC TRANS AM 10TH ANNIVERSARY OFFICIAL PACE CAR DAYTONA 500 EDITION

       
       

1979 PONTIAC TRANS AM
          10TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION
        OFFICIAL PACE CAR - DAYTONA 500

     

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DECADE CAN MAKE. IN 1969, THE TRANS AM WAS A SHARP-LOOKING
        OPTION PACKAGE THAT SOLD IN RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBERS. IN 1979, THE TRANS AM WAS
        A CAR THAT EVERYONE WANTED. IMMORTALIZED IN MOVIES, THE TRANS AM HAD EMERGED
        AS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO PONTIAC'S PURSE. NOT EVERYONE WAS GOING TO  DRIVE OFF
        IN A TRANS AM FROM THE PONTIAC LOT AS THERE WERE PLENTY OF OTHER  FIREBIRD MODELS
        THAT COULD FEED THE SPORTY CAR HABIT. AFTER ALL, IT WASN'T EVERY CAR THAT COULD
        STICK AROUND FOR 10 YEARS RACKING UP INCREASING SALES.
        THE FIREBIRD/TRANS AM JUGGERNAUT DID, AND PONTIAC USED THE 10th ANNIVERSARY
        OF THE T/A TO RELEASE A TRUE LIMITED EDITION MODEL. IT WOULD START A TRANS AM
        TRADITION OF ANNIVERSARY EDITIONS EVERY FIVE YEARS. THE T/A HAD BEEN VERY GOOD
        TO PONTIAC AND WHILE THE STRENGTH OF THAT SPIRIT EBBED AND FLOWED,  PONTIAC
        HAD NEVER LOST FAITH IN THE FIREBIRD - TILL TODAY, NEITHER HAS IT'S  FANS.
