Let's find Bob's 58 Pontiac
Information on Bob Crockers 1958 ex Pontiac

What we are looking for is a 1958 Pontiac Parisienne Sports Coupe, in two tone colours of Burma Green lower and Calypso green top and side panels.
When this car was sold on 1962, in the east end of Toronto Canada to a person who was moving and driving it to the west, unfortunately I didnt keep his name.

The 1962 Ontario plate had 9670 on it. These were a series of license plates that went on sale at Queens Park and if you went in early in January, you could get the four digit plate.
The car was equipped with a big block 348 motor with dual exhausts. I had the air cleaner and valve covers chrome plated along with the oil cap and some other small engine items.
It originally had a Turbo-Glide transmission, but it was changed by me to a Power-Glide unit when the Turbo-Glide needed major, expensive repairs!
The gear shift quadrant was changed from GR to L. The car had a wonder bar radio with a rear seat speaker, power windows, power steering and power brakes!
The seats were covered with clear plastic seat covers. Mileage on this car when sold in 1962 was approximate 50.000 original miles! Being the second owner, the first being an Executive, it was just like new inside and out.

I installed an auxiliary amp meter and oil pressure gauge discreetly under the dash as the two original instruments were idiot lights which I did not care for.
There was a custom trailer hitch on the car with a wiring harness in the trunk.
I obtained a pair of Foxcraft Fender Skirts from Canadian Tire and painted them using touchup spray paint, which unfortunately did not match 100%.
I had a large exterior mirror mounted on the drivers door. Both doors had stainless edgings to protect them from paint chips.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of this car I certainly would like to know about it.
The reason I sold the car was that I was getting married and needed the money for a down payment on a house which I succeeded in doing.
