'65-'67 Pontiac was at the top of their game, style-wise. Love those beautiful cars

My dad owned a '66 Grande Parisienne with a 396 4bbl producing 325 hp. The transmission was a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic. The car was light blue with a black vinyl roof. The interior was dark blue with the Strato bucket seats and center console. Dual exhausts came standard with the 396. It was a beautiful car and man could it move! It looked fast even standing still! Great cars! 😉

I should also mention that at the same time that my dad owned the '66 GP there was another '66 Grande Parisienne just a few blocks away. This one was canary yellow with a black vinyl roof. It had the 427 4bbl with the 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic. It was probably the most beautiful Pontiac that I have ever seen! Those long sweeping lines found on both the Grand Prix and Grande Parisienne were accentuated so well by the canary yellow paint scheme. To this day there is still a '66 GP in my town. This one is lovingly owned by the grandson of the original owner and is equipped with the 396 and automatic, gold exterior with gold cloth bucket seats and interior. Still an eye-turner after more than 50 years! Beautiful cars!

In the fall of 1965, my mom bought a 1966 Le Mans, our neighbor bought a 1966 Grand Prix, and my mom's friend bought a 1966 GTO. All within about 4 weeks. All 3 were beautiful cars. The Grand Prix was a gold metallic color. The owner of the GTO was a nurse who was a hottie in her own right. And she knew how to drive that GTO with it's 4-spd. Every time I think of her in that GTO, I am reminded of The Graduate...."What are you doing, Mrs. Robinson?"

Something tells me Mrs. Robinson’s tooling around in a Type R.

Old school's are the absolute BEST

My first car was a 66 gra nd prix. Same color but had white interior. Love those

I think Sal failed to mention that the car had the cam changed as well as the intake and carburetor. It's obvious from the lope and idle.

@@ActivityPhoto I’ll have to ask him about that.

389 was never referred to in litres. Inch measurements are more accurate. One tenth of a liter is 6.1 cubic inches

These are cool but 67 and especially 68s were indicative of what Grand Prix was becoming (69-72 Grand Prix). 68s have become my favourite.
