1977 Malibu sedan Ottawa Kijij


3679emn_19.jpg

Interesting bottom of the line model with the round headlights - unusual for the 1977 model year.

Nice clean dash and interior.

A wash and matching tires would help the sale. smile

I would have lost that be. I thought all 77 Malibus had square lights.

The cheaper plain Malibus (not the Malibu Classics) have the round singles for '76 and '77.

Back in the day there were quite a few around.

The Buick A bodies of the same vintage have a couple of different front clips depending on the model (Special/Century/Regal).

I actually have a '77 Malibu brochure which shows both headlight configurations.
Not much space is given to the single headlight models as they are trying to sell the gravy models after all.

Too much money: agree. Maybe knock a thou or two off it and it would be a nice entry level hobby car or just a comfortable weekend cruiser for a family.

Great derby car: disagree.  Nice original old cars should be preserved.  There are enough junk yard refugees out there to use for the derby, if that turns your crank.

I know I'll get piled on here for saying that (as usual), but sorry I just had to get my 2¢ in on that one.

 Being a 73-77 A body affectionado I will confirm the headlight treatment on Chevelles. The dual stacked rectangular lights were saved for the Malibu Classics and other higher level trim models. This one is basically your economy model.

I think Buick had the most varied treatment in headlights then, even the 4dr cars were different from 2 dr models.

The beaks on the Buicks and Olds cars varied from model to model as well. Some might recall that Richard Petty drove a 1977 Olds Cutlass because the front end treatment was the most slippery of the GM A bodies.

Oh yeah! When 1977 came knocking these cars were pretty hot sellers and Oldsmobile was at the top of its game with over One Million sold, mainly Cutlass models. It was the last year for the Colonnades and the public was eating them up.

The Malibu was the only B body to hang on to the round headlights in '76 and '77 on the less expensive models.

Buick Olds and Poncho all switched to the small rectangular quads after '75.

The bigger rectangular single headlights didn't appear until '78 in the new downsized Malibu and Fairmont. Both these cars would go back to the smaller quads in the early '80s.

Above is the most famous round headlight Colonnade Buick of them all.

Kojak loves you, baby. smile

Anyone in Scarborough should be able to recognize the background & intersection. It was a stock and very clean 1977 Chevelle Malibu sedan that looks identical to the one in  the brochure, shown also for comparison. Same colour and for the most part options.

Thanks Cam.

I really prefer the look of the round headlights over the rectangular quads.

Funny how Chrysler followed suit with the Cordoba in 78/79.
