I thought I was seeing a typo when I read "Star Chief". I remember my
Uncle owning a Pontiac Strato-Chief around the same year. Was this the
Canadian version??

While I'm typing...I really enjoy this News group...Please keep the
pics...

Zinc, Doby, Padraig and Andre...Im always looking forward to what new
pics will be posted....And If make a correction every now and then,
It's just the "Car-Guy" in me...

Hi Mo, If your uncle owned a Strato Chief he owned a Canadian Pontiac. The
Strato Chief was at different times the entry level and middle level model.
There was also a Pathfinder below and a Laurentian above this.

Hi Mo, Here are some shots of 1955 Pontiacs, one a Laurentian and the other
a Pathfinder Deluxe. Both are essentially Pontiac bodies on Chevrolet
mechanical components on a Chevrolet chassis. And I've also included some
1962 Laurentian pictures.

Yeah, I don't remember too many Pathfinders, either. The Pathfinder must
have been like a Plymouth Fury I, a Ford Custom and Chevrolet Biscayne
where they did not even have carpets as standard.

That's right. The Pathfinder was the bottom of the ladder for Pontiac in
Canada and there has never been anyone who could make a car look more
stripped than the domestics (except maybe some of the post-war austerity
models from England -- I'm thinking of the Standard Eight or the Ford
Popular, for example).
