My original '63 Tempest (bought in Sept. '62) was a stripper like that. It was a big window coupe ordered with front & rear window chrome trim but not door chrome trim (Stainless? vent window frame). Cove spears. No side spears, no wind splits on the fender tops. Radio delete. Black car over red cloth interior with a custom clear steering wheel, remote fender mirror, day nite interior mirror, 4bbl automatic.
$2125 delivered.

Do you remember if the front and rear window trim was a stand alone option? My guess would have been it was tied to trim package including windsplits. Being a Sept car I'm guessing it was a gasket windshield car.

Usually it was part of the upper or lower decor trim package,,,, But with Pontiac, if you were ordering a new car, you could get just about anything you wanted. If you just wanted the windshield trim, no poblem.

I remember the owner of the dealership (!) (Jim Roche Sr., Roche Pontiac, Callicoon NY) sitting at the kitchen table with us and picking and choosing every piece of trim etc. on the car. The car is long gone (Sure miss that steering wheel !) so I have no idea if it had a gasket windshield. Can you tell from the corner visible in the second picture? (PS that picture was taken in Dallas) Barely noticeable in the black & white photo is the base of a four foot whip antenna (over the rear passenger side wheel) - cant say what it was for, but I was working for the NSA  at the time....

Only worth saving if a 590 car. Being a salvage yard, they won't take less than a couple hundred over scrap.

Tempest cousin
Don't see one of these every day! Interesting to compare to '62 Tempest wagons.

They ended the auction early due to "Item was lost or broken" this usually means they sold it outside of ebay to avoid the fees. Maybe thats what happend? Never know...

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.
