The 1967 Pontiac Grand Prix wore its performance quietly, hiding a fresh 400 cubic inch V8 under a personal luxury car’s restrained styling. A GM-wide ban on multi-carburetor setups forced Pontiac’s engineers to rethink how they built horsepower that year, and the result was a car that looked like a boulevard cruiser but drove like something with real teeth. It was also the only year buyers could get a Grand Prix as a true convertible.

Ever pondered what the color of envy looks like? Look no further than the 1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J, a car so stylish, even your garage will feel underdressed. This beauty dons a shade so captivating, it deserves its own fan club. And if only paint chips could sign autographs! While we bask in the glory of its hue, remember, this is a car that turns heads and leaves other vehicles wondering if they missed the memo. Watch out, world—this Pontiac isn’t just a car; it’s a statement.

Two very different philosophies of 1965 performance face off in this photo: a plain-looking Plymouth hiding serious big-block muscle, and a restyled Pontiac built for buyers who wanted power wrapped in personal-luxury polish. The Belvedere could be optioned with a 365-horsepower 426 wedge for a fraction of the Grand Prix’s price. The Grand Prix countered with up to 380 horsepower, fresh coke-bottle styling, and a lot more prestige. Which one gets your vote?
