Looking at the track of a 1959 Chevy (or Canadian Pontiac) compared to a 1959 Pontiac it’s easy to see the wider stance of the Wide Track Pontiac.

Surely in later years is was mostly a marketing slogan.

The 14x7” wheels that were standard on the GP for 1969 and not available on the Pontiac A-body which only had 14x6” wheels would qualify as a wide track feature in some sense.
