Gorgeous……

 

Thanks - the car is so funny, from each angle, depending on lighting, it looks all off, or all on. The panel separation points can "throw" the color way off and make you think it's all wrong, too dark, too light etc. until you look at it from another direction or different lighting. Last evening, Shelley says; " the hood looks way too light over here and super dark here. Did they spray enough paint on the hood? " To which I replied, " Other than adjusting the hood, he didn't touch it. Thats the factory paint honey".

 

WOW . . .

! ! 👍 ! ! 👍 ! !

 

I like the color! I wonder why?

 

Me too! Very rare (less than 5 known) Code 02 car. Painted "Pontiac Copper Blaze Poly".

 

This will be the next one to go to The Carriage Shop. Re-painted two years ago, the right side Quarter has some iffy body work I just can't Not See when I look at the car. Should be an easy match on this one. So, any takers on what's different about this 1966 Pontiac Convertible? John

 

Beautiful Grandprix

 

I see a few things, guessing on others.

No wiper arms
No badges
Bench seat.
I think the wide wheel bolt pattern was pretty much standard on this era Grand Prix

 

Well, no wiper arms because the wiper switch turns on and they immediatly "whack" that beautiful new stainless trim. And that Stainless Trim is super rare, only Bonnivilles had it, not chevy etc. So I search.

Badges removed on purpose, even in the interior - which by the way is ultra rare BUCKET seats with Power, recliners and head rests. I've been offered 10 grand just for the seats. The car is absolute loaded.

Only badge that will adorn the car for now is on order - 1958 Multi Color (Read Red White and Blue) "Tri-Power" emblems in Gold for the front fenders.

Those wheels are Kelsey Hayes 8 Lug wheels - Rims are 8 bolt Steel and separate from the Finned Inners which are Aluminum to dissipate heat. Rare and desirable. And expensive. Trim rings, centers and Lug nuts all specific to these wheels.

I'll post more pics but this one rides and drives as good as it looks. More work, as always , to do to it though. Fun stuff!

See, for reference, the length of this car last evening at dinner. Note the overhang in the parking space. Amazing what Detroit used to build. These cars changed design on a yearly basis and were never intended to last 60 years. I'll include a few pics of the interior. Early and mid 60's Pontiacs had somen of the most beautiful interiors.
