PY member Bruce Meyer pointed out how deep the '59 pan looked compared to later pans, in the Street forum where I'm running this same thread subject. I really hadn't noticed it myself, but I was curious and got out the tape measure.
Good eye on the oil pan Bruce.  I measured my '64 421 HO oil pan and it is 6-7/8" deep at the center of the flat portion of the sump to the top of the pan rail.  The 1959 pan measures 7-7/8" in the same spot, one full inch deeper.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
