Featured car history
Pontiac GTO 1966
Production year: 1966
No. of produced cars: Information not available at the moment.
The GTO became a separate Pontiac model (model number 242) in 1966, instead of being an “option package” on the Tempest LeMans. The entire GM “A” body intermediate line was restyled that year, gaining more curvaceous styling with kicked-up rear fender lines for a “Coke-bottle” look, and a slightly “tunneled” backlight. The tail light featured a rare louvered cover, only seen on the GTO.
