17169XXXXX

1 = 1961
7 = Pontiac (Canadian)
1 = Strato Chief, 6 cyl
69 = 4-door sedan
XXXXX = sequence number unique to car starting at 00001

 

35 = 4-door station wagon (2-seat)

(Ted - I'm guessing you have Bill Watson's book and it is full of errors.  It shows 7135 as the Strato Chief 4-door sedan, which is incorrect.  Look on page 538 for the correct body style numbers.)

 Hi Sean, absolutely correct assumption on your part.
