WHY does Pontiac have a minvan????), 4 cylinders aka half a real engine, rice in any shape or form (except the food... rice is good food...)

What option on the 68-69 body style Goats was so popular that most people think it was a standard feature?

Interests:Cars, cars & more cars. 1930s cars, 1950s cars, 1960s cars, muscle cars, chrome chariots, land yachts & true rat rods. Speed, RWD, manual transmissions, Pillarless Hardtops and weird obscure cars are also my passion. Currently thinkning about trading my 1959 Buick 2 door post for a solid pre-war car. As soon as I win the Lottery I'm buying a Messerschmitt Bf.109 & V16 Cadillac or two.

Technically that is incorrect. The '68 GTO had the Endura bumper & hidden headlights as standard equipment. The chrome front bumper and the fixed headlights were 'delete options'. In other words; you could order a car without these features... and usually a delete option resulted in a credit to the sticker price. Delete option headlights & bumper were not offered for '69.

wikipedia is -generally speaking- a real mess. They should be barred from using "-pedia" in their name until everything is factually checked and viewer editing ability is discontinued. I'll clean up the GTO entry when I get a chance...

I liked the question, it IS an unusual situation regarding the headlights/bumper- just a technicality trip-up no doubt based on erroneous sources. It can be hard to pick your way around those.
