1963 Pontiac Le Mans Convertible
The 1963 Pontiac Lemans with a 326 cu. in. V8, 260hp engine was the precursor to the Pontiac GTO. Some folks say it was the first American muscle car. The Le Mans started out as a performance upgrade to the Pontiac Tempest but in 1963 it became a separate product line. I saw this one yesterday at an informal car show. It has the optional floor mounted 3 speed manual transmission.
In 1964, the Le Mans was offered with the GTO performance package that included a 389 cu. in. V8. The rest, as they say, is history. At the same informal show, I also saw this '67 GTO.
