That would be good but a big block would be stimulating!

 Just checked my Strato... Pad in the center where this vent is and no vertical vents on the outsides.. So, I am pretty sure............ Get the owner to turn the wheel so we can see the heater control!!

I am thinking the GP has "Flow Thru Ventilation" or whatever Pontiac called it.

I would not bet against you on this one though. I just thought it should have a vent where it has that nameplate. You could well be correct.

 That could be a first in a long time!!! (lol)  I have a dash out of a 4dr Grande in my garage and she had A/C. It sure looks like this one. I have to pick up another Grande without A/C so I will check that one too!!

I'm thinking that the Grande Parisienne in 1968 had the C24 Astro Ventilation with the vertical outboard dash vents. I know it was standard on the Grande Parisienne coupe  (that one came without the vent windows; the front side glass said "Astro Ventilation")
