GM in Canada back then had no agreements with GM in the USto use the same parts to make the same body style car we had, or the same engines They did as they saw fit and made some really strange, and named, GM cars. Pontiacs from up there were the strangest but in some ways more of a muscle car than what we had. A 427 or 396 in a Pontiac here in the US was never heard of, but up there they were the norm.

Not until the early 70s I believe did they make the same cars as down here because GM imported them to the US. I hauled many a car and truck from Canada to dealers here in the North East US.... all of New England out to Ohio and south to Virginia and W. Virginia.

About Us

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.
