Here is the complete 1954 Canadian Pontiac range comprised of both Domestic and U.S. Import models.
It is arranged unconventionally, with the base Canadian models on up through Laurentian, then it starts again with base U.S. cars.
The Canadian cars are unabashedly 1954 Chevrolet right down to the tail lights. Compare them to the U.S cars.
This is a scarce brochure. I am posting it here where it is deserved and appreciated.
I'll start with the first 9 pages which are Canadian cars.

Followed sequentially by the U.S. range. These cars have 122" & 124" wheelbases, the shorter with flathead straight six or flathead straight eight, the longer straight eight only.

I'll finish off with the big Star Chief series, then six & eights display on different chassis, wrapping with specifications on the back cover.
I wonder who The Old Car Manual Project will give credit to when it appears. Wild About Cars? Again?

That is beautiful and really fills in the mysteries of what cars you could get in Canada at the time. Good work!
