Picked up a 58 Pontiac trying to figure out what it is could only find the tag in the door jam serial 8774100928 engine W9102775 any help would be appreciated
The W9 means it was or is a 261 inline six cylinder motor. That much i do know. Hope someone here can help you out with the rest of the deciphering. Cheers. George

The 8 stands for 1958. 7741 means its a 2 door sedan Laurentian series. The numbers 00928 is the sequential build number which is quite low so car was most likely built in late 1957. As George mentioned the letter W 9102775 means its a 261 six cylinder and the numbers means sequential build from engine plant. As these engines where used in Canadian Pontiacs from 1955 to 1962 a large number of them were produced. Any 1958 Pontiac built in Canada could have had a six engine even the higher priced Parisienne's. My Parisienne sport coupe was built with a six and its still going strong! Bob.
