You guys are sick perverts!

I’m disgusted,

I’m appalled,

I’m repulsed


And, oh yeah, I’m in perfect agreement!

The 68-69 GTO was the ultimate conclusion of the styling idea that started with the 63 full-size cars. That coke bottle idea came to its best end result in the 68-69 GTO. The perfect proportions of the 68-72 A body two doors gave them the ideal foundation. Bill Porter took that ideal foundation and made his version of it stand classically alone from the others.

The unique shape of the quarter windows made the “hips” look just right (the other 68-69 A bodies Used a pointier quarter window that made the quartes seem a bit too thick). The voluptuous sides of the GTO with no obvious mid body creases (but full of subtle delights as discussed here at length) and front fenders that mimicked the quarters a bit just ooze of feminine and/or feline curves and proportions.

One of the most beautiful cars of all time, especially noteworthy that this beauty was achieved not on an impractical sports car or exotic that had almost no contraints to practicality but on a very practical pedestrian platform that had to provide comfortable accommodations for five or six people and their luggage. A master stroke of the art of the possible.
