    Pontiac Full-Size (Catalina / Bonneville / 2+2) — Option Codes

    Covers the B-body full-size line: Catalina, Star Chief (Executive from 1966), Bonneville, Grand Ville (1971–75), Safari wagons, and the Catalina 2+2 (1964–67). Note: "Ventura" in 1960–61 (and the Catalina Ventura trim through 1970) is a full-size trim package — distinct from the 1971+ X-body Ventura covered in ventura-astre.md.

    Options in the 1960s were ordered with Pontiac 3-digit sales codes; public web sources rarely print them for the full-size line, so many rows below carry package/price data with the code marked as a gap. PHS documentation resolves any specific car.
