The roof and glass areas were unchanged, but below the beltline, a full-width horizontal grille led to smoother Air-Foil sidelines and a more successful rear treatment. The fins were gone, and round taillights were tunneled into long fender bulges. The bubbletop Pontiacs looks great when new, and are very hot in todays market.
