Regular readers of this space might remember this 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix from a few years back — we passed it poking out of its driveway one day while driving through Kenmore. Well, last week we passed by again on our bicycle and found it on the front lawn, givingus an opportunity to show off the rear end which helped so much to differentiate it from other full-sized Pontiacs that year.

That beautiful wrap-around rear window, which had some pundits back in the day wondering if the car was coming or going, was touted by Studebakerin their brochure thusly: Visibility is unlimited in this five-passenger “glass-all-around” sports coupe.And, as y
