Hi All, I'm working on an excel spreadsheet to "build" 1969 2+2's with correct option restrictions and prices as well as trim and colors etc. I've found about 90% of the data I need to make it work but I'm missing a few things... First is the interior codes, I've only got the parchment one so far (859), s...

For the 1969 grilles there are two designs, and "early" and a "late". The earlier ones are lighter and feature 3 colors. The later are darker and feature only 2 colors. Early: "First Jobs - Shadow Silver" 9795115 Right, 9795116 Left "Later Jobs - Oxford Grey" 546147 Right, 546148 Left I have absolut...

The title kind of summarizes the only thing I'm not 100% stoked about my current restoration, really, and that's just a result of the fact that Matador Red was really the only red you could order in 1969. Pretty much every original Matador Red 1969 I've seen has been repainted a different red, and this...

After some discussion the body shop, I decided to go with a rear antenna. It's "Now or Never"(Elvis) My front was aftermarket and I can't seem to locate a stock one anywhere anyways. Grabbed a 1969 Bonneville power rear off eBay. The 69 2+2 in Port Hope has one and I fell in love with it when I saw it. Shoul...

Hi I have a 66 grande parisienne 2dht. 396cui th400. It was imported from Canada to Norway in 1996. The car is in good condition and has only been used in the summertime. But in the last years it has become a garage queen. It just sits in the garage. So, I am considering to sell it. But what is it wor...

In a section showing multiple spy shots of what was thought to be the upcoming big brand changes, there is a shot of what was described a the 67 Pontiac front end.

Now that I have new 17 wheels and a C3 brake system with Wildwood calipers, my current 14 inch spare tire will not work on the front. The spare tire is an ancient CTC GS 78 bias ply that seems to hold air, for awhile but I need to do something. Because its a vintage piece of Canadiana, I thought I would po...

The September Smoke Signals from POCI has a neat interview with Jim Ewan who was responsible for designing the grilles and taillights etc that made chevies into Beaumonts and Acadians in the 60s. There are some neat pictures and he also did the interior tweaks to pontiacize the interiors of all Cana...

As you can imagine, more documentation is better with a car like this. When I bought it, he THOUGHT he had the plate but could not find it. I just received a cryptic text, years later, indicating he's got it and do I want it? Of course I want it! -- Edited by davepl on Sunday 19th of May 2019 09:01:27 AM
