That's 3 Pontiacs and an Acadian Beaumont, (once upon a time) at your local Pontiac-Buick dealer wink

Just remember folks, the discussion on what is and isn't a Pontiac is a closed topic here on CP.

I meant to say, "what a nice photo of 4 great Canadian Pontiacs". Of course.

OK, 3 Canadian cars + one American car.

3 coupes and one convertible.

3 B-bodies and one A-body.

but who cares biggrin

No matter how you sum it up,

1 beautiful clear day to enjoy 4 great cars.

This is the stuff that keeps us going.

Thanks for the pictures !

Nice cars, Carl! GM of Canada and PMD really had it going on in the mid sixties!

It strikes me how easy it would be for the layman to assume the Grande Parisienne and the Grand Prix are the exact same car, yet they are so different underneath the skin. I would love to be able to go back in time and see all the engineering that went on behind the scenes, to make it all happen, and to still be able to sell the cars at the pricepoint that they did. Pontiac style at an almost Chevy price - no wonder Pontiacs were often best sellers in Canada during those years. It's quite an accomplishment if you think about it.

I hope at some point to have the Grand Prix on the hoist. I'm real curious to see how it looks vs my Grande Parisienne. I know the chassis as well as floor pan between the 2 is 100% different but I want to see the differences.

That would make a great thread to follow along, Carl. Educational even.
