I don't recall seeing this piece before, interesting 'what if'.

I did think the 2nd gen GAs were clean & attractive, they just never had anything under hood. Haven't seen one in decades, tho.

I had a friend with one of those in college. His name was Mike. Good guy, but he grew up helping his mother run the family business, a woman's clothing and accessory store. He was straight, but not terribly aggressive in some ways.

Car suited him perfectly...actually, he was/is a great guy, and was one of my best friends in College.

Oh, and yes...there is a 73ish Grand Am that is female owned, one owner, that shows up at car shows around here once in awhile. It's cleaner than most cars on a new car showroom...I think of you every time I see that old Poncho, actually.

I like the shape of the '78-81 Malibu and LeMans 2drs...the roofline and general shape reminds me of the '64-65 A-bodies..

That is sooo nice. GM killed so many car guys' spirits behind the scenes.

I'm not the best writer in the world, but it is a struggle to read that article.

One more reason to sigh...
