And for those wanting to build an accurate Parisienne or Laurentian hardtop, the '62 AMT Chev chassis wheelbase matches the body perfectly. Its even easy to find parts to build the 'Super Astro-Flame' ( :rolleyes: ) 348 tri-power that was the top mill that year for northern ponchos. Don't forget to switch to chev style parallel wipers as well...

Does this mean other  Moebius kits will follow??

And that Hobby Lobby will catch on and carry them too??

Where can the scripts be found? 

I'd seriously be willing to give this a shot- I love the screwball Canadian stuff. 

Wouldn't the interiors be closer to the Bel-Air/Impala, or were those identical (or at least close) to the American Pontiac?

I believe your right on the interiors Charlie. The Canadian Pontiacs were mainly Chev engines, chassis, and interiors. The outside sheet metal and dashboards, were Pontiac. Strato-Chief equaled Chevy's Biscayne. Laurentian = Bel Air. Parisienne = Impala.

Got mine today at my LHS, and one of the trim rings for the wheels is defective. Never dealt with Moebius direct when it comes to replacement parts. How well are they with customer service?
