I topped it off with some photoshopped decals i printed out.  Its got a Sinclair Pontiac dealer decal from Ontario,  the Valve cover decal and Laurentian emblem is also one i made myself.

Nicely done Pontiac, DA . . . I used to own a 1968 Pontiac Parisienne 4-door, which was right hand drive from Canada . . . My Pontiac was finished in Maize yellow with brown vinyl roof, 5.3 litre V8 engine, auto transmission and registration number in England was FCK 33

I built a 1:24 scale model of the Parisienne from a resin body kit, and I have photos for anyone interested in Pontiac's

Looks like GM of Canada had no problem offering the 261,in the states it was only offered in the very big trucks and took me awhile to find one.

[TheBEAUMONTGURU]

yes.    55 thru 62 canadian pontiacs got the 261 when a 6cyl engine was ordered.

It seems a lot more 261s were available up north.
