Note the "if" PDX. I'm a mechanic not an auto history trivia expert. I think Caddy's have had that forever....I saw a 97 Olds Aurora the other day that had it. GW

I'm neither a mechanic nor an auto trivia expert, but I did just get a '97 Grand Am and apparently it wasn't even an option for them. DH has a '98 GP GT 3.8 with the "one of everything" option package, and it doesn't have auto climate control, and I can't find anything that lists it as an option for that year/model.

I realize this is off the subject, but automatic climate control came out in the 1960's, if that's what you meant. I'm having a hard time believing that's what you meant, it's so crazy. I know you're going to misinterpret this. I don't know when they first applied it to Grand Prixs, but I have a junk 74 Grand Prix that has it. Of course it's all pneumatic with a little dash of analog electronics in the temperature controller, but the principle is the same.

On usenet, a lot of times somebody will ask "when did power windows come out" and some person will say "we had a 1972 Pontiac with them, that's when they came out". That's foolish. They're like a first grader that goes to school and learns about the letter Q. He's never heard of it before, so he thinks it's brand new, just invented. If you're out of the first grade, you should know better. A lot of things have happened before each of us came along.
