interior trim all contribute to the car?s highly original
appearance and outstanding presentation. A beautifully preserved
translucent steering wheel serves as a centerpiece of the interior
and reflects the futuristic styling themes that defined Pontiac's
celebrated Wide-Track era. The trunk compartment is clean and
detailed, retaining the original jack assembly, spare tire cover,
and a set of color matched fender skirts. Exterior details include
the correct Pontiac Deluxe wheel covers, wide whitewall tires, dual
outside rearview mirrors, and the unmistakable styling cues that
