63 Canadian & US Pontiacs- differences?? Similarities
Permalink  

I know the mechanical stuff is all the same as a Chevy, but what about the rest?


Interior seats, seat coverings, door panels, dash, etc. What about body parts like say hood and trunk, fenders, doors, bumpers, trim?

 

I thought I read somewhere the Canadian Pontiac was smaller, not as wide and a shorter wheelbase, so some of the parts would have to be different if that is the case?

 

Thanks,

Don

I have heard that Canadian pontiacs were not a wide. But not true for the body. Pulled off the cowl grill on the wagon and found the provisions for the American wipers. Bought a Catalina tailgate measurements are the same. Bonneville is longer. Parisienne is same dimensions are gp and Catalina except for obvious Chevrolet components.

This being said this is known of 1964s I have looked into

I'll have to get a tape measure on the first US Pontiac I see.

Thanks,
Don
