I always thought the 1960 was a styling oxymorn compared to all the split grille Pontiacs but for the first time I see that the styling on the 1959 in Robert M's avatar and the car for sale are virtually the same, except for the grille. For some reason the split grille introduced on 1959 was called off in 1960 only to reappear in 1961 and never really leave again.
