What did the 1969 Trunks say?


I was just looking at the 1969 Strato Chief feature car from 2010, and I noticed the trunk is entirely blank.  So if that's the case for all of them, can someone fill in the blanks?

 

Strato Chief     - Blank
Laurentian       - PONTIAC
Parisienne       - ???
2+2               - "2+2 by Pontiac" or "2+2 Pontiac", I'm not 100%
Grande P        - Grande Parisienne

I'm 95% certain the Strato Chief had "PONTIAC" on the trunk lid as I seem to remember as a kid pulling pieces of car wash brush bristles out from behind the letters on dad's Strato Chief. Somewhere I have a photo of the back of the car but I can't seem to find it.

The red Strato Chief I parted out said Pontiac in separate letters and the Parisienne I own has Parisienne in script on the trunk. Both are 69's.

OK, so the Strato Chief that was feature car must have been de-badged then, as it had nothing on the trunk, which was what prompted my question. I'll assume same as the Laurentian then.

Does anyone know if the 2+2 trunk emblem, under the 2+2 part, read "by Pontiac" or just "Pontiac"?

Just "Pontiac".  They're tough to find in good condition, here's a broken one:

Random note - I just bought an NOS set of those bumper fillers. When I was restoring my 2+2 it was a hard part to find in good condition - any bumper damage and usually the bumper gets pushed into them.

The Pontiac lettering on the back of the strato and Laurentian is the same as on the Catalina or executive so they can be found used in good shape in the dry US states
