Walter, a hardy welcome aboard from Milton, Ontario. Always good to have members from far away lands. I see your 68 is in a restoration shop, will they be doing all the work on your car. Could you tell us all here what your plans are for the 68. I would recommend a build thread here on C.P. for your 68, it will be fun. Good luck with the 68 and cheers mate. George

I was under the impression that GM Holden supplied the interiors from Australia. There were some differences. The 4 door Htp had a fold down center armrest and had cloth interiors. Canadian cars used cloth / vinyl seats combo, but no center arm rest. I stand corrected

Welcome, Walter, from Langley, British Columbia. You will find lots of info from the greatest bunch on this site. And ditto on the photos.
Luppy
cheers guys
Pics as requested needs some work but the only known 68 sedan in NZ
pics as requested and body tag info black car gold interior ???
yes correct I only know of 2 4 door hardtops here
cool i wonder how many are out there still or how many we got originally
Hi Walter... Glad you took my cue and signed up... (I was the guy on Facebook that decoded as much of the data tag as I could except for the DOMRD)
A 68 Laurentian Sedan I had a few years back, took the kids for a trip up North in it.
There are a few Laurentians in NZ but that's the only Parisienne I've seen.
Carl - would these be a conversion or factory RHD?
