Actually, the Intrigue had the widest track, because it is actually a slightly larger car, sharing it'* stretched frame with the Century.
I wasn't sure...but the Regal is wider than the Grand Prix even though 'Wider is Better' is the slogan for the GP :?

Cheers,

It refers to the 'track' of the car, meaning the distance between the wheels at the front and back. A wider stance (track) will contribute to better handling.

yeah I meant wider track in front for the GP compared to its rear. The regal might be overall wider I guess.

That'* actually been a Pontiac slogan since the 50'* or 60'*... Unfortunately, I can't find any of the ads from then to show...

I did find a Bonne ad from 1964 that mentions "Wide Track"

Woo! All the cars in the pictures are hot. I have to say, that GM did have some of the hottest looking cars of the 60'*.
