Anyone have a 63 Pontiac sales brochure?
Permalink  

I'm involved in a discussion in a Facebook group regarding the availability of air conditioning from the factory on a 63 Canadian Pontiac. Does anyone have the brochure?

1963 Pontiac Brochure (oldcarbrochures.com)

Problem solved, I found it online. No mention of A/C as an option.

Checked my 61 Cdn Pontiac shop manual and 63 supplement, no mention of factory AC in either. Im assuming no Canadian Pontiacs had a factory AC option, at least up to 63- and likely none before 61 either.

On my old Chevies I had reproduced factory shop manuals for USA Chevies, iirc the AC sections in those manuals was 20-30 pages, plus a lot of detail in the assembly manual under the RPO accessories. I doubt Canadian built Chevies had AC either or our Pontiacs would likely have had it too?

It's listed under All Weather Air Conditioning in the index of my 59 impala manual. Nothing in the 58/59 Pontiac. I guess I can stop looking for a factory AC unit.

 Is that a US manual? I'd be surprised to see that in a Canadian manual.

I'm not sure, probably? It's a repop I got from the old car center in langley bc. It was only $25 so I couldn't resist.

 That looks like an excellent manual but yes, certainly is a US version. I'm sure almost everything is identical other than the a/c part.
