1961

The 1961 full size models would gain a more distinctive split grill that would remain a Pontiac trademark. In 1961 the compact Tempest model was added to the wagon line up. This unique model featured innovations such as a rear trans axle with a torque tube/rope drive design and a 194.5 cubic inch slant 4 cylinder engine that was built as one half of a 389 cubic inch V8. The engine was available with a 1bbl or 4 bbl carb. There was also an optional 215 cubic inch 4 bbl Buick V8 for the Tempest. The Tempest would last through 1963 in this configuration with only minor styling and engineering changes.

In 1963, Pontiac went to an attractive vertical stacked headlight design for full size wagons. Variations of this design would remain through the 1967 models. The Tempest dropped the optional Buick V8 for the optional new Pontiac 326 V8 2bbl. There were 6 421 Super Duty Tempest Safaris built in late December 1962 for race teams to use in the 1963 race season. They were all white in color.

The legendary 421 cubic inch V8 became available in the full size 1964 wagons in 4 bbl or tri power trim. The 389 remained the standard engine. The Tempest line moved to a larger new 116 inch wheelbase and the "A" body platform. The base engine for Tempest became a 215 cubic inch 6 cylinder 1 bbl Chevy built engine. The 326 remained as the optional V8. These engine line ups remained through the 1966 model year.
