I really like this vintage piece. Nice pic, nice car, I even like the model (but she's old now).

Published Feb. 8th. 1964, exactly (2) months before my car was built (Apr. 8th. 1964)

Bought it off eBay listed incorrectly.

They were as usual a bit mis-informed about the genetics of, and history behind Canadian Pontiacs.

It reads: "Canadian Pontiac actually uses Chevrolet body shell and motor but is trimmed out like U.S. Pontiac. General Motors does it that way for competitive reasons".confuse

That's neat! 

I wonder why a US newspaper was writing about Canadian Pontiacs back when the car was new?
