I like this perspective.  I recall how disappointed I was with the look of the relatively chunky looking 66 Poncho after the gorgeous 65.  Then came the 67...... Scared

@jkuvakas  I actually liked the 67 Grand Prix, without those chunky looking stacked headlights the other models had.  I liked the 68 Pontiac as well but that's about it for after the gorgeous 65.

Just my opinion: Pontiac full-size '57, '61[love], '62, '63, '64[love]; mid-size '65, '66[love], '67; no compacts; pony car Sweaty '77 & '78.  These are the Pontiac's I like and if I had the money and space I would buy; the other Pontiac's if in great shape I would take if given to me because I enjoy any American car 1948 to 1972. After '72 it would have to be special to me in some way for me to want it.

Yes, 1965 was a banner year for GM.
