Default Oddball Pontiac

I'd like to put some sort of article together for our local newsletter about oddball Pontiacs. Wondering if you could point me to any you know of.

By oddball, I am meaning things like Pontiacs that were put into service for non-average jobs.

Things like Flower cars: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6029/...ea7171f219.jpg

Railroad cars: http://forums.aaca.org/attachments/f...road-wagon.jpg

or even trucks: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/jay_el/191834720/

Please point me to some other oddballs. Thanks!

1956 Sedan Delivery Canadian Pontiac - White Rose Oil. I also note that the 1958 wagon you show is a Canadian Pontiac used by Canadian National Railways.

That white '57 is a friend of mines. Sedan Deliveries were also made in 1958 so Canadian SD cars from 54-58. We also had twop door wagons. I'll try and find some photos. In the mean time I have a few Limos....

Thanks!
Keep them coming.
Don't have to be so much oddball as just rarely seen or heard of.

Funny, I was just looking up pictures of it.
The only problem is, it was not a production car, so not sure if I'll include it (but maybe).

Mostly thinking production cars but put into use for odd things.
But send them all, maybe I'll write a few different articles.
(If possible, please include a link with info about the car).
