Alot of poeple get confused about this one....... This is the 50th Anniversary Limited Edition 1976 Trans Am. This gets a little confusing because people say that 1979 was a 10th Anniversary, so how can a 1976 be a 50th Anniversary. Well, the 10th Anniversary was the 10th year of production of the "Trans Am". This 50th Anniversary is the 50th production year of Pontiac 1926-1976. There is the same confusion when you talk about the 30th and 35th Anniversary models as well. The 30th Anniversary was 1999, and the 35th Anniversary is 2002.. So how can a 5 year Anniversary fall only 3 years apart. Well, the 30th was the anniversary of the Trans Am 1969-1999 and the 35th was the anniversary of the Firebird 1967-2002.

The Black and Gold Trans Am first made it's debut at the 1974 Chicago car show. If you want to check out photos of the actual car.. Click Here. There was such a good feedback from this show that they brought the infamous "Black and Gold" back for the 1976 Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Trans Am. Pontiac decided to produce 2400 Limited Edition for the 1976 model year.
