When the GTO made its way to the scene, it joined the second-generation standard Pontiac LeMans, which, by 1964, had already become a separate model from the Pontiac lineup. In terms of the design, the normal Pontiac LeMans was largely similar to the performance-based GTO trim.
It was offered in a 2-door convertible, hardtop as well as a coupé shape, to serve multiple customers with different styling and driving tastes. In dimension, the Pontiac GTO measured around 206.4 inches in length and 74.4 inches in width, which was like the middle ground between the slightly larger Dodge Polara 500 and the smaller Chevrolet Chevelle.
On the outside, the Pontiac GTO’s styling stood out for its unique hood scoops at the front and dual exhausts at the rear end, with GTO badges, flaunted on both ends. The wider wheels with 7.50 x 14 redline tires significantly boosted its profile with a sporty taste.
The Pontiac GTO’s interior was largely just taken from the standard LeMans trims, with courtesy ambient lighting, carpeted lower door panels, and a special deluxe steering wheel. Extra bucks unlocked a cool-looking tachometer that sat at the far right of the dashboard
