This is an absolutely beautiful Pontiac! The protruding nose always, always told me it was a Pontiac coming down the street regardless of model. As time marches on, I grow more & more appreciative of the Pontiacs of this generation. Thanks Lou & Mike for a great presentation!

Wow! What a fantastic Pontiac! That nose! Those hideaways! That original interior and vinyl top! 😎👍👍

The GP etching on the windows is classy! I always love the cars & the car stories when ownership remains in the family, too. Michael certainly has a keeper here. Thanks, Lou!

I always liked the look of the the '68 GP due to the extreme fastback design and this one is really beautiful. I also love that particular grill with the hidden headlights. It's interesting how the front end is a nod to the '59 Edsel, and the quarters, to the '55 Lincoln. It was time when designers could have some fun. I always say it - the one type of car I sorely miss is the "personal luxury or" "gentleman sports car" type of vehicle. A car that combines both smooth comfort and power. Not all of us want an insect looking, stiff riding SUV for crying out loud! LOL :)

wow, don't see these anymore, those years, 67' 68' 69' are about the rarest around, designed very well, and rarely seen. it's great you bring these classics to us lou! thanx!!

Lou that is just great,if I owned that car I don't think would want to go in the house. What a great job you always do.

Kudos to Michael for keeping his mom's first car going. As has already been mentioned, the 1968s were the first to wear side marker lights and the ones on this car are beautifully integrated. The front markers used amber 194A lamps and Michael needs to get one or maybe two. I didn't see the front driver's side marker working when he turned on the headlights. Also, these cars really need a strong battery to start when they're warm. My 1969 Olds always did. Thanks, Lou, for showing us this beautiful car.

I bought a 68 G.P in 72 for 1800 dollars. Drove it on my honeymoon and later brought my 2kids home in it. It was the same collor but had a black interior. Really great car, i miss it. Thanks for the memories Lou.

The last year of the “Big” GP! The ‘69 would go on to be a massive success, and a huge seller... even started the whole intermediate personal luxury coupe that would rule the 70’s. But I love this big brute! This was the last classy GP! 👍😀

luv all the fullsize GP's, from '62-'68. this car has such a massive presence, yet still styled as a personal coupe. if ever a car required skirts, this one is it...seamless continuity with the side sweep. you see '67's now and then, esp the convertibles, but never '68's. beautiful...

You always find such great cars and outstanding folks! Michael and his elegant GP are no exception. (Never seen that window etching before !) Thanks Lou!

Holy crap! I lived two blocks away from that car all through the seventies! I had to have seen it as a kid! Awesome.

The T-bar and bucket seats make the interior look great.

WOW! My high school years during the mid 1970’s my buddy Cliff had a 68 Pontiac GP EXACTLY LIKE THIS! As time would have it I lost contact with Cliff and never knew what he did with that Pontiac GP.

Hi, Lou! 1968 was the Grand Prix's last year as a full-size model. It's share of Pontiac sales had gone into decline since its high point in 1963, so it got its own look and its own platform for '69 which turned things around for the series. Still, I think the '68 was quite a dramatic standout with that pointy beak, that big eggcrate grille, those concealed headlamps, that halo vinyl roof and that beautifully appointed interior with that big center console. And it was Pontiac that pioneered the concealed wipers in '67. Michael's mom was wise to have kept this one around all those years, because this is one car you don't see too often. Thanks to both of you for a fine ride in a "gentleman's muscle car" and taking us through that nice covered bridge. (We have our share of those out in the country here in New England.)

He's got a beautiful good old Pontiac! I remember these when they were NEW and I can't believe I'm still here to be able to say that!! But always loved them when I saw one and in a dream would've owned one like it!!!

The grand prix up to 1972, was one of the best performing cars that GM ever put out. They are an absolute beast on the road, and very few cars of that era could hang with it. Of course you don't typically hear that amongst car enthusiast, but those who owned one know exactly what I'm talking about. I've owned 2, and the 71 Model J was hands down probably the fastest stock production car I've ever owned.

My parents had a 1967 Bonneville, and I can remember lying in back seat listening to that motor, and yes falling asleep. Totally agree, a gentleman's sport car! A real beauty!

My first job was selling Muntz 8 track car stereos. We used to move the rear defogger to the center so we could install 6 x 9 speakers in the rear deck. Tunes were more important than the driver being able to see out the rear window. We had our priorities straight in the 70's.....LOL PS: We also used the seat belts as bottle openers.

Man that's a wonderful one family owned Gran Prix!!! That thing looks so slick and clean with the hideaway headlights and fender skirts!!! 1968 was a great year for sure. The styling of this car is really cool with how the bumpers tuck up so close to the body and are part of the body lines. So cool!!!

It’s great to see a one family well preserved survivor..Love those land yatchs..as a kid I remember them roaming the land..now you see them and think…they’re HUGE! Kudos to our parents and grandparents who were able to park them using the over assisted power steering with one finger!!..🤣 Thanks Lou!

What a beauty. I have always loved the older Pontiacs, they really stood apart from the other GM divisions. GM, bring back the Pontiac division, make it the performance division again.

What a car! I have never seen a 68 Pontiac Grand Prix….what a beautiful piece. Pontiac do great interiors, really high end. Great video Lou!

What a great Grand Prix! Spectacular survivor and good Trunk and Treats. Michael and his family sure have taken care of it. Thanks Michael and Lou!

11:57 They made the AC controls look like a second radio! I had a '68 Cadillac, but the AC controls just had the slider and the thermostat dial. DOT, or NHTSA, or whatever it was at the time, along with the insurance industry, was getting after the carmakers to smooth over things like that beak; they were also pushing to get rid of vent windows, though they continued on as an option on Fords well into the '80s. Cool car, being the last B-body GP makes it special.

That's a beautiful Pontiac

When I was younger I thought these cars were ugly, now I appreciate the style. 💪🚘🎯

I've seen many a Pontiac but none like this one. My Grandfather had a 67 Bonneville to die for. This car reminds me of it. Man, this is a show winner if there ever was one. Nice Find there Lou. Lar

Now that a great car story. Like how the car stayed in the family. Beautiful Pontiac

I'm very impressed with the correctness under the hood. I'm not talking proper hose clamp crap but how an original well maintained car that still could be a daily driver should look. Love it!

Lou, congratulations to Mr. Siblik for the maintenance and stewardship of this rare '68 GP. It is the last year model of the Land Yacht Catalina based body style as GM went to the new G-Body platform in '69. Nice score!

...Lou always finds the best "Rides" !!! ...hey I love this one the best !! ..always wanted this year !!! Lov-It !!

John DeLorean was the MAN !!!....Pontiac was kind of the same as Chevy but DeLorean made them SO different......Thanks Lou.

Just beautiful, love the old Pontiacs!!! Great job Lou!!!

Very nice Pontiac! The family should be congratulated for keeping it so original. Plus, what a unique interior door panel. I am sure this baby used lots of 28 cent gas in 1968!

I forgot that this car existed! I haven't seen one of these for eons. I love the front end styling.

I had a 1967 in 1977 wish I still had it lots of memories

A nice, one owner, all original...almost...survivor. I don’t think Jay Leno would complain.

My parents had one of these green with a black vinyl top. 400 cubic inch engine. It had a factory 8 track player. We kids thought we were big stuff..Our car has a 8 track player we bragged to our friends. Slick car though!!!

I like how they just ran right past the stop sign and they was laughing oh well good thing no one was crossing the street but that's a very clean G P as I used to call them back in day I never seen one with a hard top only vinyl top that's very rare.

Goes to show how a car can last if properly taken care of my hats off to them thanks for showing this one

Omg stunning Catalina! That April Gold paint speaks to me! My dad bought a 71 Bonneville brand new and his had the same exterior paint. Loving those fender skirts and nose on the hood as well as the trunk. I love the hubcaps on these, versus the optional sport mag wheels. These were classier I thought. The vinyl top is in remarkable condition for the year too! Wow! Those hideaway headlights are so awesome! Really makes the front of this car look so clean when they're closed. Fantastic video! Thanks Lou!

I had one of these, all black when I was 20 in 1973 and really didn't know what I had. Those more beautiful now. I haven't seen one in 30 years. Really outstanding. Thanks for sharing and taking me back.

A very beautiful and RARE year to find now days for the GP. What a sweet machine! This man is fortunate indeed to own a piece of history that has been in his family since new. All those memories that add to the value of the car plus the trunk and treats! I had a chance to own a '68 GP many years ago and passed because both rear quarters were rusted out. Maybe I could have saved it and enjoyed it. Great video Lou, thanks so much!

Wow this has got to be rare. Just love the '60's Pontiacs. Thanks for great vid Lou!

Well done Lou! Best wishes to Michael and family for maintaining a true Pontiac timepiece.

Nice bucket seats w/ console, futuristic style, and olive color omnipresent in late sixties 😊

i luv the pontiacs from this era they have a styling all of thier own.i saw one at a car show and the size is off the scale.

My first car was a 1968 Pontiac Executive 2 door hardtop. The Executive had the Catalina trim, but shared the wheelbase and overall length with the Bonneville. It was a great cruiser.

Wow! Beautiful 68 GP!! Key buzzer still works!! Love it!

Super nice Pontiac G/P. Thanks for taking us along for the ride Lou and Michael.

Beautiful, one of my favorites. Amazing that today every car made has power windows and this one still had crank windows. Love this car!

Thank you to Michael for sharing your baby! Great job as usual Lou. 68 was one of the classiest years, lines were just beautiful ❤️

When I was a lot younger, I worked at a paint&body shop, and the boss man had one exactly like this, totally badass right! Thanks, Lou✌😁

This "Sporty Catalina" brings back memories, Lou! Even though I do not remember seeing a 1968 Pontiac Full-Size Car ever in my life, our family had a 1967 Pontiac Catalina Wagon (four-doors natch!). I was too young to drive it, but I admired the 400 Cubic Inch Engine. It filled the entire engine compartment. I love the nose on the thing, and we always assumed it was the same car used in Batman, which was a popular show at the time. I think to this day, my family calls it the Batmobile.

His mom has good taste! Good looking car beak and all!

Another beautiful gem 💎 Lou! Thanks so much 👍🏽

Great job Lou, can’t wait for the next one

Massive sleek and sporty looking! 💚 T.Y. Michael and Lou for another great ride down memory lane! 👍

Hi Lou, thank you for another great video! And a lucky Michael who owns this elegant GP! :)

Beautiful car !! The ride was beautiful, and the bridge, wow ! Congratulations to owner and thanks to you for your fabulous work.

Magnificent Lines, great sound. I'm a suker for the hideaway headlights and nice survivor story. Thanks again Lou!

Love this one. The gold green color combo with the black top works pretty well.

WOW! Been in his family since new. Beautiful car. Always loved this years GP for their distinctive tail lights and it's center console. Even with 96k on the dial she's a winner.

This Pontiac is a well-kept vehicle, but I'm glad that DeLorean came up with the refresh the following year...

Great looking car! My grandfather (whom I was named after) had a '68 Catalina two-door sedan (yes!) when I was little. It had a 400-cid engine, just like this Grand Prix. This car is nice in its own way, even though the eight-lug wheels (1968 was the last year for those) would give it a little more sparkle. At the rear, it looks very much like the '68 Buick Skylark. And those long taillights could have been sequential, like the Ford Thunderbird and Mercury Cougar had at that time. (Were they offered on the GP?) And speaking of the ventless front door windows, it was the '67 model that was the first GP to have them. Additionally, all '67 full-size Pontiacs were the first to have hidden wipers; they weren't offered on any other GM car that year. The '68 GP was the last of the big-body GP's. Then, for 1969, came the spectacular "G-body" Grand Prix, and sales nearly QUADRUPLED over the '68 model! John DeLorean hit a home run with the '69! (9/4/2021)

I always liked the 68 GP , nice car. There was one on eBay a couple years ago that was a factory 4 speed . That car had to be super rare . Another great post Lou 👍

Lol, "you could put the baby to sleep", so true, a great rumble at idle A very unique look to the car, almost looks like a 1950s car that has been chopped and dropped, but came straight out of the factory. Very cool.

Beautiful all original Pontiac!

Very Rare. 1 year only styling.

The details! Amazing that the high beam light on the speedo is a Indian Chief, Pontiac chieftain

Lou, you go from strength to strength..love the vids, thank you.

Yes! Another Pontiac! I learned to drive on mom's 72 Catalina. Dad had a 76 Grand Prix. My first car was a new 74 sd-455 trans am and my brother's first car was a new 77 formula 350 firebird. Keep the Indians on the warpath!

Very nice! Guess that was before cup holders were invented.. Thanks Lou..

Thanks so much for showing, and I would recognize if I saw you as well!

Amazing car. The lines are so incredible all around the car and that front end is so Pontiac. The interior is so cool. Another great thing about the Pontiacs of this era were those really cool steering wheels. The mid 60’s through the 70’s were, in my opinion, when American automakers designed snd made the most beautiful and unique cars. Definitely my favorites. Have always loved all the Grand Prix’s but my favorites were the ‘71, ‘72, ‘74-‘77. When I was in high school, 2 sisters and a brother were given brand new ‘75 Grand Prix’s of their choosing by their mom. Hate to admit it but I was so jealous because they had my dream car.

Very nice, beautiful car. Thanks Lou.

Another beautiful car lou thank you

I started college in September 1968 and this would have been grand!

Beautiful 😍 Thanks Lou!

Great low key gem of the past. Nice that it has been in Michael's family so long and he put it back in such good condition. Noticed that headliner seemed intact. Wonder if he ever had to have that redone. Those were a problem on some Pontiac's during that time and into the mid 70's. Lastly, excellent job as always Lou interviewing your profiled guests and their own treasures. Thanks.

Just beautiful It's nice to see no-one mess it up Wow I love it .

Thanks for this guy showing his 68 GP. This was my first car in 1975 with 76k mi on the OD, I paid $300.00, I sure wish I had it today, I always thought the 68 GP was the best looking GP of all. Mine was grey, it had power windows and power D-seat, but no AC, one am radio, 400 4 barrel carb with plenty of get up and go, I got somewhere around 15 mi/gal....... You did a good job showing details but you forgot the power up antenna.........

I wish that every one of these cars featured would cruise down my street at least once this summer :)

My favorite year of Grand Prix.

Great video Lou, I have a 68 GP with the same color scheme. I took it apart to restore 10 years ago and this year I am finally going to piece it together. Your video gives me a lift, I can see what mine will look like again. Oh ya the 400 was swapped for a 350 so I had a 455 built for it!!!!

A rare find. Good job. Had a 72 GP. White with red interior. Loved that Pontiac. My ex GF wrecked it😩

Yep, our 1967 Catalina also had a 400. It might not have had 375HP though! But the 1967 and 68 did not look that different. You've got to love the rear side panels!

Very cool, really enjoyed!!!!!!!!!

Gorgeous!

Just a great styled car. Love the fact it’s unmolested stock condition

Saw this car and meet this guy at Crystal Lake Indian Uprising car show. Nice car and we have the same hubcaps on our family 1967 Firebird OHC6.

I had a 68 bonneville, same engine, many similarities... Fond memories :)

Oh baby! What a fantastic looking vehicle! I may even like the wheel covers on that particular one better than the aluminum drum/wheels. 🇺🇸

What an absolutely gorgeous hunk of car, you surely don't see anything like that at all, those were just so cool, while you had the fabulous fifties cars, towards the end of the sixties, you had some cars with style & distinction, this is a rare definition, when you had the trunk open showing the paperwork, I recognized the dealer it came from, Eddie Ruch Pontiac was a dealer from the past, I have a postcard of of it from 1974 that I got from a friend of mine when I lived in Arlington Heights, sadly to say that the whole building has been torn down, because when I was in Chicago 3 years ago, I was in Wheaton Illinois for a toy & model car show, I drove past where the dealer was, I'd gone there a couple of times for a brochure on the new Pontiacs, but now it's a memory of days gone by, the closest one can get to a car like that if you can find it is a resin model, that would be a rarity, but the last weekend in October is a Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac car show in Auburndale Florida which I intend to go to, I'm sure I'll find 1 of those at the show, I really wish that Pontiac was still around, also Oldsmobile, we used to have cool cars, now it's all just way out of reach today unless you win the lottery!!

We had a 68 Catalina same color combo and engine as this one . Was a good car one of my dads favorites that he owned. I think he liked to run it hard when mom and us kids were not in it with him. He loved to jam to his Johnny Cash and Marty Robbins 8 tracks in it.

I like the little detail of the Indian head silhouette for the high beam indicator.

Another great video Lou. When I first moved to the neighborhood I live in now 20 years ago there was an old Pontiac like that sitting under a car port down the road from me. It was was a 3 car port and had the Pontiac under the middle and an old Volkswagen Beetle to the right of it. The Pontiac was gold with a white vinyl top, a little bit lighter gold color than this one in the video. But like this one in the video it was bought brand new by the current owners mom. About 5 years ago it disappeared and just a month or two after that the car port collapsed when we got a big snow. The Volkswagen Beetle got crushed but not sure what happened to the Pontiac. The owner wasn't very sociable.

absolutely gorgeous car!

great video!
