About the Pontiac Grand Prix
The 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix represents the final iteration of the model's original full-sized B-body architecture before it transitioned to the smaller G-body for 1969. Distinguished by its unique one-year-only 'beak-nose' grille and integrated front bumper, it maintained the brand's 'Wide-Track' stance and hidden headlamps. While the convertible was dropped for this year, the hardtop coupe remained a potent performer, especially when equipped with the standard 400 cubic-inch V8. It offers a refined but muscular driving experience, featuring a cockpit-style interior with bucket seats and a wrap-around dashboard that set the standard for the personal luxury segment.
