Bonus name all three models of this Pontiac.

My dad once owned a 1970 Buick GSX, just like the one in the following link.

Looks split to me. Some had more meat between the grilles than others.

Sorry Pontiac considers the split in the bumper intake opening as the traditional split. It is smaller but similar to the Fiero GT of the same era.

Besides that was not as first gen either.

I don't make the rules this is was a Trivia question at a Pontiac meet.
