Good luck with the project. I'm a big fan of vintage wagons. So much that I sort of have one as a daily driver.
I took this picture a couple years ago a a local wrecking yard.

WOW, yard owner must have taken in someone's Pontiac wgn stash.
I can count on one hand the number of '69 Executive wagons that I have ran across in over 2 dozen states in boneyards & crusher yards. That woyld be from the mid 80's through the 00's.

The '69's always register w me. IMy Dad special ordered new a '69 Exec 6 passenger wgn. Dad's friend, his territory's Pontiac zone rep drove it for the first two months. Midnight green with a limelight green top. 428, AC, trailer pkg, Safe-T-Track, super lift shocks. Had a custom built equalizer hitch installed to pull the travel trailer. Striking car with the wood grain side treatment.

Best to you Sauceman with the Bonneville Wgn project!

The center and right one in the yard are 70’s, the left one I can’t quite tell. The telltale is the rear side marker lights. 69 had a single horizontal element lens while 70 had a larger vertical three element units.
