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.

My parents had a 64 Star Chief. The stacked headlights on that car kept me a Pontiac fan of the 60s, and was that main reason I bought my first 66 GTO. Then the 63 GP, 66 Tempest Custom, and the 66 GTO I have now. Stacked headlights was the best looking style Pontiac had back then. To me nothing compared or looked as good after 1968.

IMO the best looking 1967 Pontiac is the 67 fill size Ford! Something happened to Pontiac styling for the "B" bodies after 1966.
