A-body or B-body?
Permalink  

So like I said I'll have a berrage of questions . . .

 

My first question is in a 64 Parisienne an A-body or B-body?

My next question is do the Parisiennes all share the same basic body or is there a major difference between the convertable, 2dr HT, 4dr HT, and 4dr Sedan?

also, are all the PArisiennes from that year the same length?

thanks in advance.

         Full size are B-bodies... 

         A bodies are like Chevelles  but Pontiac never made any.....  

         The convertible has a canvas top  

        2-4 door Hardtops  have no posts and 2 and 4 door sedans have posts..    

        all 64 Parisiennes are close to same length... 

        and possibly the same for laurentian and strato chief......

 Full size Canadian Pontiacs were actually called Series 7000 from 1958-70?

That is what is on the cover of the factory Service Manuals.
