ok i sent pontiac a email here is what i says
i hope they send a reply

there was NEVER an option as I and willwren have said. they were most likely a dealer "addition" that added to the price of hte car

From what I've heard the Gold Package was a dealer-installed option, not a factory option.
I've seen this package on 1994-1996 Grand Prix Aero SE Coupe and GTP'* also.

:wrong post:

I'll third what Bill and 93 SLE said....there is no such thing from the factory. This is a dealer add on, nothing more. Remember all the gold emblemed Camrys and Lexuses you saw a few years ago?? Gold was all the craze....

ok pontiac emailed me back and said that they are looking it up... they hope to have an answer by tommarow

sweet should be interesting.....

I know we're still waiting for The Word to come down from Pontiac, but I have seen several of these around central Ohio. I can be fairly certain that there are at least fifteen in Columbus(parked in different driveways so fairly certain not the same car multiple times).
I'd say it was probably a Pontiac produced/dealer installed packeage. That wouldn't show up on the factory option sheet, but it would account for the nationwide sightings.
Chrysler did a lot of that kind of thing with the LeBaron and the Prowler.

sweet that should be cool

My '93 SSE was similar. I don't recall "gold edition' badging, but the stripes and trim emblems were all gold. Looked nice on the black background.
