Tempest Hardtops
Why were there no Tempest/LeMans hardtops (no posts) when hardtops were available in the Tempest's shared platforms, i.e. Buick Skylark and Olds F-85? As far as I know, all Tempest/LeMans "coupes" were post bodies, like my '63 LeMans.

No hard tops in 61-63!!! Remember, This was Pontiac's " Economy" car.

Let me try again- does anyone know the reasons Pontiac didn't build a Tempest/LeMans hardtop? I'm looking for the history behind this.

Don't know. Maybe Buick and Olds 'leaned on' corporate management to have the high-end offerings to themselves- Skylark, etc.?

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
