A very late '69 with some '70 parts
(Preview)
I'm looking at a '69 Bonneville build at the end of June and there are a couple of things weird: - Woodgrain instead of aluminum dash, but this could have been replaced - Black Astro vents instead of chrome - Could this be a late year change? - Weird rear ashtrays - Has anyone seen these before anywhere? T...

Power antenna in Canada?
(Preview)
When I restored my car I moved the antenna to the trunk, like a US power antenna car, but it's not a power antenna car. Then I got to thinking, "I've never owned a Canadian power antenna car". Nor have I ever seen one. So was power antenna even an option on the 69-70 Canadian cars? In my option info on my web...

Anyone have a 1969 Speed Warning Rally Dash
(Preview)
I have one of each, but not the combined one (and I could actually use a better 1969 rally dash). If you have a Speed Warning with Gauges, I would love to talk you into selling it. If you have one with just gauges that hasn't yellowed badly I could survive with that. Please drop me a note (or email me at dave...

(Preview)
I'm putting together the US RPO information to go alongside the Canadian order sheet on my website, and noticed that in the US you could NOT get rear defog in a convertible - but I had a 2+2 that had it! It was weird, it hung in the fabric boot that goes up and down with the top. That also added a switch, so you...

Was ours the last "Indian Head" on a Pontiac?
(Preview)
Tangential to the main discussion, Mr. Ewen asked me if the high beam indicator on our cars was in the form of an Indian Head (which I confirmed). He postulated that this might be the last time that the Indian Head appeared on a Pontiac. Since I don't know Firebirds very well, I can't say for sure, but ca...

Looking for 1969 Parisienne black door and 1/4 interior door panels

I would like to find some nice driver quality door panels and rear seat panels in black. Yes I know I could buy new but would love to keep my budget in check on the 2+2 in check. Thanks.

Chatting with Jim Ewen
(Preview)
About a decade ago someone (possibly Hillar, I do not recall) was going to interview the designer of the 69 Pontiac (it's Canadian variants especially) but for one reason or another it never materialized. I decided to track him down and do it myself, and indeed he's still alive! Probably far better...

1968 Grande Parisienne with 396 Engine placed with 2 speed auto
(Preview)
My 1968 Grande Parisienne has a terrific 396 engine in it (which goes like stink), but I'm curious as to whether or not it is common to see that big block tied to a 2 speed automatic? I would have pictured a 3 speed auto instead in my mind as a more reasonable choice. It's definitely original equipment as I b...

Who designed the 69 Bonneville? Who adapted it to the Canadian market?
(Preview)
Two questions I'd like to answer before they all pass on, if they haven't already, are: a) Who designed the 1969 Bonneville (and Catalina, etc)? My best guess is Bill Porter, but I've been unable to confirm. b) Who adopted the design to the Canadian models? Hopefully some of this has been answered b...

Expensive options, not in my car
(Preview)
I posted this separately as not to hijack another thread. This is a very interesting topic as my 69 was a car bought by the York Lions Club in Toronto to be the top prize in a 50 cent raffle. It seems that they worked with Old Mill Pontiac Buick to lower the costs of the car. So Convertible but, 350, Six may no...

Parking light frustration!! 1967 Parisienne
(Preview)
Hi Guys,
It's MOT time and my car won't pass as it has a parking light out. Indicator works fine. As you all know, they are double filament bulbs, one filament for parking light, larger, brighter one for turn signal.
Easy, I thought, smack a new bulb in, all good! Not so, tried three new bulbs, same pro...

Someone posted here a week or two ago with a whole host of US full size 69s, including a black Brougham. Does anyone know where that thread is? I can't find it now!
