1976 LeMans - Olympic Edition
I lived in Canada around this time (1976) and I recall a lot of dealers in the area cashing in on the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympic Games. Not sure if this was a dealer specific car, or something sold across Canada.

I am pretty sure they were available across Canada . In the summer of 76 I was in Newfoundland visiting family and I saw one there as well, saw many at the dealers in Toronto at that time , during my bicycle riding times its what I use to do ride to the different dealers to see what they had. Chevrolet had a Malibu as well , all Lemans as far as I know we're Canadian built with Chev motors from Oshawa . I think this one pictured has some extra pin striping on it , don't think they had that much. Many a day I day dreamed about having one instead of my 10 speed bike.

Read that they built 807 units from Oshawa , and there was also a Gmc pickup truck edition as well as a VAN ? Read that 1,017 Malibu's were built . A good read in the Canadian Poncho Site . My mistake the pin striping is correct.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
