Background and Identification
Pontiac was a division of General Motors (GM), an American automobile manufacturer. Pontiac vehicles were sold in Mexico, Canada, and the United States by General Motors and were marketed as GM’s performance automobile division starting in the 1960s. The Pontiac Grand Am is a mid-size size (and later compact) car produced by Pontiac.
The fifth-generation (also the final generation) of the Grand Am went on sale in mid-1998. It shared a platform with the Oldsmobile Alero and the Chevy Malibu. Compared with the fourth-generation Grand Am vehicles, the fifth-generation Grand Am’s length was shortened slightly while the wheelbase grew by more than three inches. It featured fully independent suspension and a revised MacPherson-Strut design in the front. The car was available with either an in-line 4-cylinder engine or a V6. Offered trim levels were the SE, SE1, GT, and GT1.
A 2.4-liter Twin Camshaft engine was carried over from the fourth-generation with 150-horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque. GM’s 3400 V6 engine, which was previously only included in GM minivans, became available in the SE and SE1 trim levels for the Grand Am and was standard on all other trim levels. For the 1999 model year, all Grand Ams included a four-speed automatic transmission, and in 2005 a five-speed manual transmission with overdrive was added. The final Grand Am was produced in May 2005 as the last car to be made at Lansing, Michigan’s old Fisher Body plant.
Pontiac vehicles can be identified by the Pontiac emblem, which is a shield shape that resembles a downward-pointing arrowhead with a four-pointed star in the center.
