AL: Canadian Pontiacs of that era were Chevrolets, under the skin. The Laurentian was the mid-grade model in Canada, below the Parisienne, above the Strato Chief. Here's another Laurentian we posted a while back...and if you use our search widget and try, say, Canadian Pontiac, you'll find more.

1962 Pontiac Laurentian
From Alex Emond, in Saskatchewan: "Here's a local Swift Current car . The owner dropped in to the "Elmwood" for lottery tickets and smokes when I was there for coffee cream. It's basically a beater , but , in reality , it is an automotive miracle . Green, even. I think, in the States, this model had a different name. Nothing too French. Cheers , Alex"
