1967 Pontiac Grand Prix Convertible
As one of the rarest body styles in Pontiac’s personal luxury lineup, the convertible version represented just 5,856 units out of total Grand Prix production for 1967.
This model year was notable as the only time a Grand Prix convertible was offered, and it remained on the full-size B-body platform shared with the Bonneville and Catalina.
The distinctive styling featured concealed headlights behind rotating panels, a prominent split grille design, and flowing body lines that emphasized the car’s sporting luxury character. Unlike many convertibles of the era, the Grand Prix retained clean proportions whether the soft top was raised or lowered.
Standard power came from Pontiac’s 400-cubic-inch V8 producing 350 horsepower, though buyers could upgrade to the 428-cubic-inch engine delivering up to 376 horsepower for serious performance.
The three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission was available, providing smooth power delivery suited to the car’s grand touring nature.
Positioned as Pontiac’s answer to the Ford Thunderbird, the Grand Prix convertible combined performance credentials with luxury appointments including bucket seats, console-mounted shifter, and extensive chrome trim.
The model competed in the emerging personal luxury segment that prioritized style and comfort over pure practicality.
