1170 2 door hardtops, Need to contact GM historical to find 4 door numbers. There was no data split on 6 versus 8.

If you contact GM Historic with your VIn and some $ they will send you a sheet that will tell you how many Laurentian  2dr posts were made. I think they were pretty popular.

Post all the info off your data plate and I will decode it for you.  The only extra info GM Canada will have available is the selling dealer and maybe the shipping date. They do not have any option info available on record for our 55's. For the car to be a 2 dr Laurentian it must be a 2011D model. Without the D it is a Pathfinder deluxe.

2011  2door Laurentian  or Pathfinder Deluxe

Paint 551  Lancer Blue   which is a dark blue with which looks like it has a metallic in it.

Engine W 7075  261 six cylinder sequence number for 1955

2011D This number is the only verification the car is a Laurentian not a Pathfinder Deluxe by the additional letter D

Up to the production of your car 10878 there were 7075 six cylinders produced  and 3803 265 V8's

As far as options go GM has no record of options installed on each car. If I could look at your car I could tell you what options and option numbers it has and what accessories were installed. The most common options were signal lights and heavy duty suspension the latter more on station wagons and Laurentians.

Likley a repaint, My 55 was originally Coral and Grey that was apparently not manly enough out west. The fellow we bought it from was the 2nd owner and he bought it in 1956. At that time it had already been repainted solid light blue. He had it painted in the late 70's to the current colors mostly based on the American Pontiacs he had seen.
