Canadian vehicle names

Off course it's a Canadian car, in '58 100 were shipped from the Oakland plant to Vancouver and pathfinder wagon 1/4 panels installed along with Canadian Pontiac trim and were used by Pontiac dealers as parts department cars.Most were powered by 261 inline 6's, 18 were 283's and 1 with a 348 according to the GM Canada import data.

I had the good fortune of owning a 63 Parissiene convertible. It was 283/PG powered. I just wished it were a 409 car!

Folks didn't really get the whole Canadian Pontiac thing. But when I took it to a big Pontiac show and had the hood open, the orange engine really attracted some looks.

I garnered second place and beat out much nice cars. Sometimes it is good to be odd.

 

Not mentioned are the 49-54 Canadian Pontiac's were on Chevy bodies and ch***is' with Pontiac trim, and came with Pontiac 239 Flathead sixes instead of 216 overhead valve sixes.

 

Instead of a 51 AD Chevy 3100, Hows boot a 51 Chevy 1300 !?!

 

Full-size Canadian Pontiacs all featured "Chev" V8 engines/transmissions. I have a friend with a crusher-ready '68 Grande Parisienne "woodside" Wagon, that was powered by...and I'm sure this is very rare...a 427/385 and T-400. Too bad it's "returning to the earth"...

 

Thank you. A decent share of cars & trucks were made in Canada as well, to be sold in Canada. My '38 chevy half ton was built in the Regina truck plant, not too far from me in Southern Sask.

 

62 and 63 Acadian Breaumonts were Nova's with diffewrent trim, after 63 they became Canso's.
