Mine has power antenna, no mirror on the RH door, and no 421 emblems.

----Keith,,,I notice that your 63 has the front fender location. Is it adjustable from the interior? I have always wondered about 63 and 64 Pontiacs with door mounted mirror's as to weather they were correct. My old 64 421 HO 4-speed had twin fender mount remotely adjustable fender mirrors. I also think no 63 or 64 GP ever had 421 emblems anywhere on the body.....Bill S

Yes - the remote (front fender mount) mirror is adjustable via a little "joystick" under the dash.

Door mounted driver side mirror is the non-remote location. No RH side mirror of any type was offered, so if you see one of those some one down the line added it. Also - the "no mirror" condition was base. The LH standard mirror and LH remote mirror were both options starting above that.

'63 and '64 B cars certainly had the 421 emblem on the fender as shown; I "think" the Grand Prix followed suit but I would have to verify.

Henry Ford built his first automobile in a backyard shed behind his apartment on Bagley Avenue, in Detroit.

He neglected to plan for an opening to get the car out so he hastily increased the size of the pedestrian door on the right - with an ax - in order to go for his first test drive.

Back then you didn't buy what you needed; you made it. Spark plugs, engine components, etc - they weren't commercially available.

Henry Ford built his first experimental engine using scrap metal for parts. He tested it on the kitchen sink after supper on December 24, 1893. For ignition he ran a wire from the ceiling's light bulb. His wife, Clara, hand fed the gasoline to the intake valve while Henry spun the flywheel.

In star-studded Los Angeles, even houses have film credits. A modern Encino mansion whose infinity pool set the stage for an opulent party in the 2016 musical comedy La La Land is on the market for $6.45 million.
