My books don't show style 2019 for '56. In 55 it was a Pathfinder deluxe 6 cyl sedan. In 56 the Pathfinder deluxe 6 cyl sedan was style 2069...

The Laurentian for 56 is listed as style 2069D

There is a slight change in numbers for 1956. 2019 is a Pathfinder Deluxe 4 door sedan. If it had a D following that number it would be a Laurentian. The easiest way to distinguish between the two is by the mouldings around the side glass on the doors. The pathfinder deluxe   has a thin moulding at the lower edge of the door at the bottom of the window. The Laurentian has a wide moulding at the top and bottom of the window mounted on the door. Yuor car is equivilant to at 210 Chev. 4 door sedan. Your paint code 2004 is a single colour called Sherwood green metalic. A dealer probably added the the second colour which is a cream or white as a two tone. Sherwood Green as a two tone from the factory would have had either Pinecrest Green or India Ivory as a second colour. 3072 is the sequence number of Pathfiner deluxe 4 door sedans built. The interior is described as having a foam-rubber cushioned front seat, horiziontally ribbed pattern cloth is on seats and backs with simulated bolsters and facings in starfrost vinyl. Backrest bolsters are enhanced by matching buttons. Door panels and floor mat are all vinyl with a cloth headlining. The colour should be Dark Green Patterned cloth with the Starfrost Vinyl.

Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the Best Website for Canadian Pontiacs.

Well, I couldnt find another tag, something having the engine size, and VIN, this is the only one I could find, which is on the drivers side, above the fire wall:

 

Thanks Al, very informative.  Its good to know what was originally on the car!  I know the previous owner had painted the car (himself) and maybe changed it to the 2 tone at that time??

ive added your car to our registry

Welcome Ken from another Winnipeger.  Your 56 Looks in good shape.

Welcome hope to see you out for coffee. Car looks to be in pretty good shape.

Welcome to the site brother, nice car Any luck on finding a used mig welder?

Nothing yet, might just bite the bullet and pick up a new one.  Its not like they are THAT expensive.

You guys brothers for real ? Cool !! Nice to have the same interests. You guys will have to join in on our next coffee get to gether . As you can see from another post we had twelve at our last get to gether at a fellow members garage.

Ya, we're "brothers for real".  We've both had an interest in classic cars for awhile now.

hmmmmmm, 14 guys standing around in my single, non insulated, non heated garage.  That would be interesting!

How big of a mig are you looking for my buddy has one for sale now the we bought a new one. He is looking for $100 for it if you want Pm me for his PH#.

Im looking for a small, gas mig welder, something that would be good for body work.  One that plugs into a regular 120v outlet.  (20amp I would assume)  I sent you a private message.

Well, I picked up a new machine.  I havent hooked up the gas to it yet, to work with the argon, but worked a little in the garage tonight with Bob, just using the flux core.

You will be amazed if you welded that way first and then move to gas.

Ya, thats the plan, to hook up, and use gas.  just wanted to play a little with it as it came.

Hey Ken, nice to see you here, what's on your project list for your 56? When you need info or help, here's the place to come - Al Taylor in particular is a true expert, many of the other guys also, and once in a while I might know something too. Dave
