1965 had 'Round' tail lights.

1966 Long-Rectangular' lenses.

But you have to 'look' close, because the 1965 had the 'wrap-around'........tail quarter-panel trim.....

Very little mentioned in this old thread about '65 Pontiacs. They did show some specs for the 2 + 2. Also very few Pontiac pics. Buy hey, I can fix this.
