Sure like to know where that "C Paquette & Sons Debden Sask" emblem came from, we've been out of businness since 1968 and it's really cool to see it, I don't even have one for myself.
Well Gerry, it's on the trunk lid of a 1964 Pontiac Parisienne Custom Sport that has found it's way to just outside Toronto. A friend owns it. I will send you a Private Message.

Gerry,, I take it your from Debden, I'm in PA , I apprenticed under Gerry Watrin, he was from that area? Victoir? does the family name ring a bell. He told me stories of 409 cars from that area??
I love the history !!! here's the 409 little brother

I was gone from Debden in 1964 but that looks like a car my brother sold to a guy from Debden that lived in Red Deer at the time, Custom Sport 409 black,powerglide tranny, actually we were just talking about that car the other day, quite a story on that car, I remeber the car very well and the guy that owned it still lives in Red Deer, actually his brother had bought a 1964 Custom Sport 409 dual 4bbl 4 spd convertible white on white at the same time but it disapeared ( never seen that car and still p-oed to this day). That car has a lot of stories from the second owner also, they would have good stories to tell. If that is the car I can get you more info.

That has to be it, it has the power glide. I can get the name of the seller who sold it to my friend. The car has been in Ontario since 1988, in a barn until December 2009. I have the GM documentation on the car as well. Stories will be appreciated !

I HAVE HEARD RUMOURS OF A DUAL QUAD 409 PONTIAC IN THE AREA AT ONE TIME, BUT DISMISSED IT AS URBAN LEGEND DUE TO ME THINKING THEY NEVER BUILT A DUAL QUAD 409 PONTIAC. LAST STORY I HEARD WAS A FELLOW IN LACOMBE OWNED(S) IT. VERY INTERESTING...
I knew i hadn't missed seeing something, i have a lot on the go but my CP gossip i try to keep on top of! I'm sure there's a bunch of very curious people who want some dish on this one Ray!
Ah, found it, i did miss it! Now i'm caught up, sorry about getting this thread sidetracked...i'll have to try to find some dealer emblems to make up for it.
