1982 Pontiac 6000 Promo
Originally called the A6000 to line up with the T1000 and J2000 and the yet to come P3000 (Fiero),the Pontiac 6000 was one of four ‘A’ bodied GM intermediate sized sedans to get the practical front-wheel-drive treatment that became the favored tech in the early 80s.
Pontiac designers kept the family resemblance closer and tighter than the other divisions’ designers, with distincive vertical split grille surrounded by deep set quad rectangular lights up front and taillights done in the same horizontally ribbed blackout treatment that the old and new firebirds used. And the marketing people backed them up by neither offering two-tones or any kind of vinyl roof. the 6000 was the only of the four cars introduced that used a full length hood and wraparound sheet metal in place of soft front and rear end caps with eliminates any possibility of gaps.
The look was clean, simple, pure, and quite a striking automobile. And according to the presenter, because it was a Pontiac, it is impressive, captivating and of course exhilarating, and ready to take their place in Pontiacs outstanding lineup of family cars in the 80s.
