The Canadian Pontiac wasn't actually a 'wide track', being all-Chevy below the trim ... but my own family was Stratochief and later Parisienne owning so I get the fondness.
ReplyDeleteWe drove these cars deep into the US on annual holidays, and the routine oil check was always a fun surprise for the attendants. More than one thought it a Candid Camera gag!
