Hi,

if you talk about sixes, for me the 54 is more desirable then the 52. The 53-54 engine are 2 barrel carb. and a "new" design cam. They breath better and run smoother and a bit performer.

May be the 54 is not "fixable", but if yes, for me the 54 is the way to go.

good luck.

very nice car!

for me this is a Pathfinder. It as the base body trim, that's why it is not a Laurentian.

Where did you find this car?

Fitz.

PS: the picture are very cool.

how cool is that to get your own old car back?!

Thanks for all the info guys,this is really a great way to find out info fast,lots of knowledgable people here.I found the car in Langley BC,just up the road from my house at the time,Ive since moved up to Gibsons BC and love it here,lots of car nuts up here too,but sadly mostly Dodge fanatics,oops can I say that word on here?
I drove the car for a few months before trading it straight across for a 64 pontiac custom sport 2drht,I thought wow did I get a great deal untill the frame broke in two a few months later and of coarse he wouldnt trade back lol.So the 54 was boarded up in the shed and I totally forgot about it,even though I must have driven past it a thousand times
I got no keys with the car when i bought it back,the doors were rusted shut along with the hood,but in my vast collection of keys I found a set that worked on the trunk,and when I popped it open it was full of extra pontiac parts that I remember giving along with the deal at the time!
Ill put up some serial numbers tomorrow to find out what modle it is for sure.

Very cool.

While I have always been a fan of the Ponchos from 55 and up, you earlier guys are starting to sway my thinking seeing these different earlier projects. I'm starting to like them a whole bunch.

Check the model number for the letter after 2011. The letter will designate the actual series the car is. 2011 id's the car as a two door notch back the W  or WD will designate the Pathfinder, Pathfinder  Deluxe  etc.
