I got my copy in the mail yesterday - I don't if the owners of the two cars are members or are known to this forum

 

 

I can scan the articles if of interest

Wow! I hadn't heard of this 2+2. If you could scan and post the rest of the article I'd really appreciate it.

Beyond the obvious bigblock, anything noteworthy? Someone said "options" but without details. What do we know about this car, if anything?  I don't see light monitors, so it doesn't have "every option" like the article seems to indicate...

I've never seen a power bucket seat in Canada, has anyone else? This 2+2 does seem to have it. I've never seen a reclining passenger side seat either (don't know if it does).

The power bucket, yes but I don't know that our B bodies in that era had a recliner.

I know the 69 Grand Prix had a recliner but never seen one in anything else.

I've installed a number of them in cars over the years but always bought them from U.S. cars.

I think the white 70 454 2+2 convertible at the yard in Gibbons AB was power bucket.  The interior was out of the car, but did see the orange power wire heading towards the drivers seat.

recliner was still offered on 69 American B bodies but was quite rare since buckets themselves were quite rare to begin with (recliner was also offered on the strato bench but those seats were no longer offered in the 69 B cars in the US. That 2+2 is very highly optioned, especially for a Canadian car.

Did the US Bonneville use the same buckets as the US Impala (and hence, the Canadian 2+2s)?

That 2+2 =is= very highly optioned for a Canadian car, but the list of things it doesn't have is long and prestigious (air, speed warning, cruise, and so on). I guess if you want to go fast in a B-Body you don't add all the weight.

The highest option '69 cars I'm aware of, unfortunately, are 4-doors!

The 2+2 came from a farm about 15 minutes drive from my place. I think it was reported on here a while ago, maybe by 73SC?

I got ahold of the owner, but he's not a computer guy (or at least doesn't have email). I sent him some links to my site and this forum to his company account, suggested his staff show it to him. Maybe he'll turn up one day!

I don't think they distribute to newsstands at least in Western Canada

 

they are Ontario and they may distribute to some local outlets in that province

 

I have subscription and have had one for a few years

 

I can send you one of my issues if you like ( my wife likes them to disappear quickly)

 

You can look at it and see if it of interest to you in terms of subscribing

Yes - I will probably go for the online version when I renew in February - it is cheaper compared to the print version - 30.00 or so for subscription

 

A lot of similar publications ( like Hemmings) will sent a person a free trial copy if asked

 

It might be worth contacting Old Autos and asking them if they would do that

 

Being able to access past issues would be nice.

If one reads the current issue article that I posted the writer refers to an earlier article covering the same car in 2014.  It would be nice to be able to go back and see it
