Spotted this at a restaurant last night. By no means perfect, it was nevertheless super clean and looked beautiful. I think the imperfections make it look like a car that is well loved and driven often, as it should be. I love the fact that somebody didn’t make it a low rider (NTTAWWT). Can anybody put a year on it?

Gotta be a ‘61 or a ‘62, ‘63+ had vertical headlights, ‘60 and earlier were a different design altogether.

Edit: A little sleuthing leads me to believe that’s almost certainly a ‘62.

It’s a ‘62. Love the color too-

Agreed. Great color, and the white interior set it off beautifully.

Any interior pics? Early ‘60s GM cars did a lot of really cool things with chrome and multiple colors.

Also, I absolutely LOVE 8 lug wheels for no rational reason.

No, I didn’t want to make a big deal of taking pictures.

I hear you- I’m sure I would have done the same, to avoid drawing attention.

1962.

Bob Loblaw... is right, 1963 began the 1960's classic Pontiac dual stacked headlights and 1961 had, like, taillights in a horizontal row the way Impalas did
