Default 60s Full Size Pontiacs book?

Anyone know of a good reference book with photos, options, production numbers focusing on these cars? Catalina, Bonneville, 2+2, Grand Prix…yeah!

Gunnel's book(s) had a lot of information for all Pontiacs.
The name escapes me at the moment.

There are probably some threads on certain models here on PY also.



Edit: Standard Catalog of Pontiacs by John Gunnell

John Gunnell's "Standard Catalog of Pontiac, 1926-2002". https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Cata.../dp/1440232342

John Gunnell's 75 Years of Pontiac: The Official History". https://www.amazon.com/75-Years-Pont.../dp/0873492307

Also, if you can find it: John Gunnell's "75 Years of Pontiac-Oakland" published in 1982 by Crestline. However, It's been out of print for decades and usually commands a silly price today. This was his first Pontiac book, I think the first two books repeat a lot of information from it. https://www.amazon.com/75-Years-Pont.../dp/0912612207

If you have specific questions about a particular year and model, post them here. Someone may be able to help. Note that unlike F body and A body cars, information about how many B body cars were built with a particular engine combination or option or color is somewhat limited.

I have "Big Pontiacs - A Source Book" by Thomas Bonsall. It covers 1955-1970 models.

It doesn't have detailed production numbers, but has reproduced factory literature and many other useful pieces of information!

There are 2 on ebay for about $30.
