1977 Pontiac Grand Am
The 1977 Can Am was an appearance option on a 1977 LeMans. The styling of the Can Am was inspired by the red/white/blue 1974 Pontiac Grand Am All-American show car. Ordering a Can Am required the dealer to order an F37 LeMans Sport Coupe (louvered rear quarter windows) in Cameo White. The dealer wrote code WW3 (Can Am) on the back side of the order form, and a LeMans Sport Coupe would be built with the following equipment;
T/A 6.6 Pontiac 400 engine (Oldsmobile 403 6.6 Litre was used in high altitude areas and California), power front disc brakes, power steering, Turbo Hydra-matic trans, Rally RTS Handling Package, Grand Prix instrument cluster, GR70x15 radials, white Rally II wheels, body colored outside mirrors, and blacked out grilles. All Can Ams were built at the home plant in Pontiac, MI. Completed cars would be shipped over to Motortown Corporation for conversion into a Can Am. Once there the hood was modified to accept a shaker hood scoop, a rear spoiler was added, multi-colored stripes and black lower body tape were applied along with Can Am decals. The process took approximately 72 hours. Completed Can Ams were then shipped from Motortown back to the Pontiac assembly plant and inserted into the regular distribution system for delivery.
Only 1,377 1977 Can Ams were produced.

The Supremes | Let Me Go The Right Way [Live @ Motor Town Revue, 12/17/1962]
Diana Ross (18) lead vocals while Florence Ballard (19) and Mary Wilson (18) sang background vocals.
The Motortown Revue was the name given to the package concert tours of Motown artists in the 1960s. Early tours featured Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Mary Wells, The Marvelettes, Barrett Strong, and The Contours as headlining acts, and gave then-second-tier acts such as Marvin Gaye, Martha & The Vandellas, Stevie Wonder, The Supremes, The Four Tops, Gladys Knight & the Pips and The Temptations the chances to improve their skills.

Pontiac Can Am, 1977. Based on the Le Mans, the Can Am was developed from the Pontiac All American show car that had been created for the American Bicentennial celebration in 1976 (B&W car pictured). It was intended to kick-start Pontiac’s flagging sales and a run of 5000 cars, powered by a 400ci V8, was planned. In fact orders for over 10,000 cars were taken. Because special tooling was required for the shaker hood, spoiler, and other modifications this work was subcontracted to local Detroit company Motortown. However Motortown’s mould used to create the fibreglass rear spoiler broke, and production ended after just 1,133 Can Ams had been made. Pontiac’s upper management, worried the Can Am was stealing sale from the more profitable Grand Prix, decided to scrap the project before a new mould could be fabricated
