It's possible. John V has reminded us that "zip codes" were not introduced until 1963 and did not gain widespread use until several years after that. I have a document in my collection that was mailed in March 1965 with no zip code on it.

This doesn't surprise me...the selling agency of my '63 Grand Prix was Stevenson Pontiac in Ludington Michigan. An internet search of Stevenson yielded nothing.

However, since I had the mailing address (from some of the original literature that came with the car) I googled the address and found that the building is still there, in use as an antique store. I figured that anybody that runs an antique store would be interested in old car memorabilia (or at least would understand a person like that) so I have exchanged emails with the owners and they are looking for whatever they can find.
