Won't lose this one in a parking lot. https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/dealer/pontiac/phoenix/1950648.html
I'd neverpaint a car in a color which inly a few could stand, if I eventually planned on selling it. Well, at least the interior is going in the right direction. The door panels and console look lame, compared to its sporty predecessors. No big deal, though.
this dealer has always nice cars listed;I keep checking his site and reasonable prices on most; the yellow blinker lights in back suggest it is or was a foreign delivery car,possibly Europe.
I think this is pretty neat. The seats look redone. What I can't figure out, and I'm not that knowledgeable with these, if they all had those big rubber bumper strips on the front and the body color piece in the middle of the bumper? I knew somebody when I was in the USAF that had a cherry 79 sedan, but I don't remember the bumpers looking like this.....
I've never seen such decoration on bumpers. At my age, I've seen enough of these cars to rule out any doubt. In that case, some serviceman stationed in Germany could have been the owner. I never checked such cars here, as to lighting conformity, though. I always thought U.S. military personnel were exempted from local stipulation.
That extra 'decoration' was added in '77 when the Ventura became the Phoenix. (Note for you Canadians - you guys kept the 'Ventura' with the '76 Ventura styling, apparently...)
Well, how do you explain the amber blinker lights, then? Were they allowed in the U.S., under federal law?
The unusual bumper guards front and rear were standard on all 1978-79 Phoenix models, and that includes the body colored center front bumper piece.
