Looks to have a lot of good parts left. Pretty rare being a 4 dr hardtop.


Al

Yeah I posted this for a guy in Beaumont AB who wants to come a pick some parts from it.  My younger brother had fixed it up about 30 years ago (holy moley,  is that ever a long time ago!) with a flip front end etc, but it never really suited it.  

My bro is now thinking about making a 55 Chev 4 door hardtop out of it(which is intriguing as a styling  exercise as Chev never brought those out until 56)  so doesn't need the Pontiac trim.

I'm not sure how rare these were.  Maybe I should tell him if you guys know.

dont see to many ,low production year
and yours looks like a Laurentian? this ones a Pathfinder Deluxe

maybe you could get some info for the registry?

Yeah it was a Laurention.  Was that the top level in 56?

I'll take a shot of the cowl tag and send it along for the registry, you bet!

That was one sharp looking car. Can it be saved?

Its been sitting on the ground for a  while so I don't know what we'll see.  If it is solid and somebody out there has a complete but slightly rusty  56 4 door sedan for parts it would make a real neat restoration alright.

I think most of the hardtop parts are there except for the lower back windshild frame which I don't think we ever found. 

I'm quite sure my brother could be persuaded if someone was going to save it. He has other priorities right now.

I suspect survivors of this particular model would be few and far between.

Hey Ken, thanks for the pictures!!!   I am interested in the scripts and rear bumper for sure !!!  Let me know.  Thanks!!!!

I stripped one of these last year - it was the rustiest car I ever had. The back doors literally fell right off it. I did manage to salvage lots of parts thought - side glass, rear window and trim, some side trim, interior pieces, window regulators. NO Laurentian scripts, so don't ask:)

Hey guys as a result of this forum my brother has now changed his tune  and wants to eventually restore this rare beast, so he won't  be selling any parts from it.  I don't know if thats good news or bad for the guys reading this, so I'm sorry if I got anybody's hopes up for parts.  If fact I have to ask Mr 57 if the parts you stripped were from a four door sedan or a four door hardtop becuae he might be looking for a lower rear windshield moulding  (its always been mssing on his.)

In a few day we are going to stick that poor thing back on a frame to see how bad it is.  If anybody knows a 56 with semi-decent front sheet metal(preferably a 4 door sedan or hardtop  for door trim  drop me a line on  this.  I'm going to post the cowl tags with the body number and if anybody can tell me any thing about it we'd be grateful.

Again sorry if I wasted anybody's time but some time it takes a while before you realize that what you have isn't actually junk. God knows we've trashed enough good cars in our time.

I would say that was good news.
