Close. It is a 1959.

Yup, that's what it is! No offense to any owners of other GM makes of 1959 vintage, but in my opinion the '59 Pontiac was the best appearing of the whole darn bunch.

I think it was a trick question so here is my answer.
Looks like an A-body to me. I'm going to guess a 70 lemans with aftermarket spoiler.
Look again closely. This one is more challenging.

Looks more like a 68-72 Nova w/ a spoiler to me.
