You can email a photo to me at canadianponcho@gmail.com and I'll post it for you. Someday if I'm ever not so busy I'll have to create how to videos for navigating Canadian Poncho and show how to post photos etc.
I believe the Chieftains were built in Canada up to 1951 or 52. Not sure when they stopped production? A friend of mine had a 1951, I believe a 6 cylinder,
Looks like a 55 Pontiac series 2011 would have been a Pathfinder Deluxe 2 door sedan in either 6 or 8 cylinder. However since the serial number begins with an 8 as in 814722 then it would have been a 265 cu in V8.
Made in Oshawa, ON. My book shows the Chieftains as being 2700 or 2700D series and being made in Pontiac, MI
This is a 4 door project, a done 55 2 door post does pop up once in a while.

Your car is a canadian pathfinder deluxe as referenced by norontcan. The sequence numbers 24722 is the production number of all 55 Pontiacs built in Qshawa. There were appx 31,000 built . I have the correct number at home but I am away until mid may.
