Grille is Custom Sport or Grand Prix.
Side trim is Custom Sport or Bonneville.
Front park lights in the bumper are Custom Sport. Grand Prix park lights are in the grille.
Missing the nameplate on the front fender.
Rims are after market.

All this point to it being a Custom Sport.

Now please ask her to get off the car before her rough jeans scratch it. There's a small card that I see posted in the window at some cruise nights that covers this.

 Add to the list Ted;

Missing nose Arrowhead.

Cracked passenger side marker lens.

Wonky front bumper

WW trim had a pull in it.

We can dissect it down to the most minor detail lol!

And she can sit on my fender anytime.

 

My 1973 LeMans was used is a series of commercials for Captain Morgans, Taco Bell and Spike TV.

The post production edits removed all nameplates and emblems from the car so that it was not identifiable as a Pontiac. This is done in commercials when the manufacture has not been asked for nor given permission to use the car in the production and avoids trademark violations. In my case they even changed the wheels as I suspect a Rally II wheel is trademarked by GM as well. The fact that you don't see something on this 1965 Pontiac does not mean its not actually on the car...with the wonders of the edit room and digital photography, my car was crashed and the hood flew off in the final commercial.

The tail end of this same car was on a flyer a couple weeks ago and you can see PARIS (cut off in the picture) on the rear quarter.

Weird that it's got Chevy rally wheels on it. Not Canadian Pontiac rallys, those are chevy. And that style didn't come out until 67 anyway....

Always been partial to that front end though. I was watching "Dazed and Confused" once on cable and there was a blue car in a drivein restaurant, I took a picture of the TV I liked it so much. It later turned out to be a '65 Grand Prix.

What is "Mark's"? Is that an outgrowth of what used to be Marks Work Wearhouse in Canada?

The ringer that it's a Canadian car is that the fender looks like Canadian spec with the wheel opening being an inch closer to the cowl than on American cars.
