I asked him, why he ordered the car with only the L79 engine and a radio as options. He told me that he had 2 small children at the time, and couldnt afford the $250. for the 4 speed. The car was built on shift 2 on Jan 28 in Oshawa, and sold Mar 15 of 1966 at Chuck Carricks Ltd. In Tilbury Ontario. I still am looking for 2 resonators for the exhaust to complete the restoration."
Beautiful car..that goes without saying. But how is this a sedan? 2 door post, ok...a coupe even..but as it only has 2 doors..not a sedan as I understand it...colour me confused.. Can anyone explain?
I've always understood a sedan has 4 doors, a post is a coupe but has a frame for the door windows where a coupe does not. Sooo.. again.. still not understanding how this is a sedan.
Wow Chris, I hadn't realized that this car had changed hands. What a great addition for you, you must have a tough choice when heading out for a drive.

Thanks Jerel; I find myself flipping a coin once in a while and Rodger the bias belt white walls wouldn't last long with the torque of the l/79.Overall I get complimented all the time even though I don't drive it too much.Louis what you see in front of back wheels are traction bars.
