1958 Laurentian 348?
Permalink  

I am looking for a 1958 Laurentian 4 dr w/348 - will look at anything in any condition - looking to restore as this was my father's first car - pic attached of 2dr - correct colour, and then 2 old photos of the actual car in the early 60's.


UPDATE - AFTER FURTHER CAREFUL EXAMINATION OF THE POSTED PHOTOS, AND SOME OLD GM BROCHURES ONLINE, I HAVE DETERMINED THE THE OLD PHOTOS I HAVE OF THE CAR ARE OF A "2 DR SEDAN" NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE SPORTS COUPE, WHICH HAD NO B PILLAR. I LIKE A 2DR BETTER, BUT HARDER TO FIND.

For those that care - the two photos with people in them are my family - before I was thought of - centre photo is the south shore of Hay Bay Ontario outside of Napanee - Summer of '62- the other photo is in the drive way of 220 Mack St in Kingston ON in August of 1962.

What great photos and a classic colour combo from late 50's. My uncle had a 59 4dr in the exact same colour combo, he liked it so much that first Christmas he actaully painted the family Christmas tree to match with all white ornaments. Good luck in your search.

Does it have to be a 4 door? There was a pristine 2 door 348 Laurentian or Parisienne for sale-I just have to remember where I saw it. I think it was posted on here...

Can you imagine that back in like 1960 he painted the tree pink, I'll never forget it.

That 58 Laurentian was under the post Stoked with Pontiacs:

I saw the car on Perry's site - his is a Parisienne and is a 2dr - look closely at the beginning for the white rear insets  - the piece of chrome at the beginning of it does not have the extended strips going back - easy way to tell them apart - the name infront of the front wheel is different, but not easily distinguishable in photos.

Did you remeber where that was - I have now discovered that I am looking for a 2 door not a 4 door afterall, but it does have to be a Laurentian.

It is gorgeous, but I'd have to save for a long time before I could ever afford anything like that! smile

May be the car Todd's remembering too but there was a '58 348 powered 2-Dr. Post car advertised in a few places a year or so ago..
I think it was advertised for less than 20 thou...didn't sell on eBay and was on Kijiji after that..
I've never seen it before but think it may've been in Lakefield near me here in Peterboro'?.

This car sold at the RM fall auction in Toronto in 2008, I believe, for somewhere around $16K as I recall. Perry wanted $25K, but the guy in AB who bought it from him wanted less; then it ended up in Toronto for the auction. It needed interior work but was otherwise quite nice, and as the picture shows, it is a beautiful car.

Is there a date on the files you have in your computer? What date were the files saved or modified, or when were the pic taken. That may help me.

Thanks so much!!!

Craig
