The 1969 Grand Prix debuted a Command Seat wraparound cockpit style instrument panel that placed most controls and gauges within easy reach of the driver, and innovations included a radio antenna embedded in the windshield, flush mounted pop open exterior door handles, side impact beams in the doors and an optional heated rear window defogger. Sales reached over 112,000 units, almost quadruple the 32,000 full sized models built in 1968, and Pontiac built a steam powered SE 101 concept car.
