A little help with a doc.
Hey y'all...when I bought my car a couple of months ago this shipping record was in with all the saved paperwork, I glanced at it and thought at the time I would look closer later. I recently had the car appraised and the appraiser said this didn't appear to be for my car but for a grand prix sport coupe, yep says it right there but I believe I have all these options. If this is a Pontiac doc what the heck is it doing with my paperwork, scratching my head now.

Car shippers were documents which went to the truck driver when the car was ready to ship from the assembly plant.
Corvettes also used them.

Get back in touch with the gentleman you bought that car from, he may want that back if he still has that Grand Prix. Here are the options available for your '79. http://www.rogerscorvette.com/specs/79.htm

Hi,
I'm thinking 66-67 Pontiacs.
I remember "Verbra-Phonic" speakers all too well.
The sound from the rear speaker was "delayed" a fraction of a second, which sorta gave you a "surround sound" effect.
But it actually sounded like you were in a giant tin can.
The fad lasted a couple of years.
Regards,
Alan

We used to call those reverberation (reverb) units. It was a novelty for awhile but the echo effect became annoying pretty quickly.

That document refers to a 1962 or 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix. Hydra-matic transmissions were installed until 1964, when Pontiac began offering the Turbo-Hydramatic unit. Also, the console vacuum gauge was placed in Grand Prix's which was a new model in 1962. I'm sure the present owner would like that document back. Unfortunately, that document does not contain the car's VIN number.
