A trivia continuation...

The trivia question the other night was what power option appeared on b body Pontiacs in the US but not on Canadian models. The correct answer was power vent windows.

As sort of a continuation, what power option appeared on US B body Pontiacs at least 2 years, (could be 3 years) before finally making an appearance in Canadian B body Pontiacs?

I saw a 66 Bonneville wagon in a wrecking yard in North Dakota years ago. It had a power lock setup. Remind me again why I didn't buy the setup......  DUH!

Likely very close to the correct answer!

Ok, then how many model years after Carl's one-option Strato Chief was made???

Yes, 1970 is the first year for electric door locks on a GM.

The switches are in demand because they are the only year of electric switch in that style. In 71, the switch bezel is much squarer.
