Catalina and other 1973 full-sized Pontiacs featured fuller-width split grilles along with the now-federally mandated front bumper, and revised taillight lenses. Instrument panels continued the "wrap-around" theme but the two round gauges were housed in square pods. With the Catalina Brougham discontinued only the regular Catalina models and Safari wagons were offered this year. Catalinas and other full-sized Pontiacs including Bonnevilles and Grand Villes now rode on a common wheelbaase for sedans and coupes though Safari and Grand Safari wagons continued on their own wheelbase.
