Vehicle Description
Subtly restyled for its sophomore model year, the high style,
"personal luxury" 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix now featured twin stacked
upright headlamps, bold signal lamps resembling a pair of driving
lights and a newly restyled rear treatment including a sculpted
rear deck and revised tail lamps within a new rear panel. Overall
bodylines of the updated Grand Prix were crisp, clean and above
all, visually striking throughout. No fewer than 23 specific 389
cubic inch V8 engine variants were listed by the factory, depending
upon the specific application, market and supporting powertrain
equipment specified, allowing buyers to custom order a new Grand
Prix to their specific needs and tastes, running the gamut from a
high torque boulevardier to all out stormer. This point was not
lost on the enthusiastic press, with Car Life publishing an article
in March 1963 entitled "How to Rouse a Tiger", subtitled "Options
put the Grand into Grand Prix". Obviously, Pontiac had a hit on its
hands with the restyled Grand Prix, selling 72,953 for 1963 - Well
more than double the prior year's already strong tally. This jewel
has only 11,863 miles, however due to the age of the vehicle the
title reads exempt, and is highly optioned including power brakes,
AM/FM radio, Soft Ray glass (all windows), power steering, power
windows and Hydramatic automatic transmission.
