Okay, I know the racing Pontiacs pic is way cooler, but this pic was driving me nuts.

Finally figured it out.

It is a Vauxhall Victor. Came out in '57, first year in the US may have been '58. Can't tell the year of this one, I don't think there were many styling changes first few years and Pontiac didn't sell them for long.

But I'm guessing the one in the pic was a '58.

Vauxhall was a British subsidiary of GM and the Victor was exported around the world. In the US they were sold by Pontiac dealers.

It was no sleeper. 1.5L 4 banger, 55 BHP. Top speed was 74 mph and could do the 1/4 in 24.5 secs.
