Just saw what could be the oldest Canadian Pontiac we know....1927 or 28 ?

Don't have a camera today and the phone will not do this justice, stand by for photos.

My friend Joe at JB Racing just picked up a what he thinks is a 1927 Pontiac, it is supper solid, only issue is interior has been lived in...very smelly.

I lifted the cowl and had a looked at the data tag....yes sir, MADE IN CANADA - Oshawa, was Joe very happy, he never even noticed that.

I'll get photo's of the tag and car ASAP. It's a project but it's all there, tires even holding air!!

Series 6-28 featured all new Fisher bodies featuring a taller and narrower radiator shell, deeply crowned fenders and a style-line ran the full length of the body. The radiator cap depicted an Indian brave instead of the previous Indian chief. The models included a 2 door; 2 passenger coupe, model number 8250; a 2 door Sport coupe with rumble seat to accommodate 4 passengers, model number 8260. The familiar 2 door, 5 passenger sedan, listed as model 8240. This continued to be the most popular Pontiac model, sharing the same body style as the original Pontiac of 1926. There were also two 4 doors models, the 8820 standard sedan, formerly known as the Landau sedan; and the 8230 Sport sedan, which replaced the Deluxe Landau Sedan of the previous 6-27 Series.

It is the 1928 model based on those photos and style chart, model 8230. I will let Joe know on Monday. I was commenting whe I saw it that it looked like a limousine with that roof line plus it has foot rests in the back seat and a hand rail on the back of the front seat. Still the oldest though biggrin

It's free...Found it in the same old yard with about 12 other treasures...2 1930 Essex 2 door coaches, a 29 Essex 4 door, 2 28 Essex 4 doors, 1930 dodge 4 door, 2 1927 Chevy sedans, 48 Merc truck, 60 Chevy Biscayne, 1927 0r so Tall T, and a 1937 Plymouth 2 door sedan...All for the taking...Got one of the 30 Essex's so far...way nicer shape than the Pontiac...
