Ever notice the resemblance of the front end styling and including the side fender view of the high line notch above the headlamp bezel between the 62 Pontiac "B" body and the 64 "A" body? Ever notice the resemblance between the 63 "B" body coke bottle body side styling and it's stacked headlamps and the 66 "A" body?
Ever notice how the Pontiac spear from 1956 to 1962 ( the exception was the 60 model) emerges from the spear into the coke bottle shape. The 62 Pontiac "B" body incorporates the spear and the coke bottle shape at the same time.
