The year 1972 was the year when the Trans Am began to feel the pinch of the new horsepower ratings. All Firebird's benefited from a new grille for '72, taking on a fine elongated honeycomb appearance. The colors once again remained limited to Cameo White with blue stipes or Lucerne Blue topped with a white stripe. Lucerne Blue would have its swan song in 1972 as a blue would not return to the Trans Am line up until 1974. The racing stripes that were first introduced in '69 also made their last appearance in 1972 and no Trans Am would be striped as such until the 15th anniversary T/A in 1984. Interiors were given a new "motokide" vinyl being available in either standard of custom trims. The Potomic cloth and vinyl morokide combination was available, but as in the cloth/vinyl trim of previous years, it was limited to black or beige. The seat cover styles between the standard and custom interiors was the horizontal pleats had a nice finished border about them. 1972 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Special features: Doors and hood open.
