Please Note: I just resurrected this site which originally built in the late 1990s. It's dated but it's back!
1969
Pontiac
Fullsize Homepage
Welcome!
I've set this web site up as a repository for
information on the 1969 Pontiac full-size (B-Body) model line, which includes
the Strato-Chief, Laurentian, Parisienne
(including the 2+2), and Grande
Parisienne in Canada and the Catalina,
Ventura, Executive, Bonneville, and
Brougham in the US. If you're
looking for information on the GTO, Grand Prix, Tempest, Lemans, or Firebird,
you're in the wrong place!
I've limited my task to the 1969 model year, but since the changes for 1970 were primarily cosmetic, much of the information you'll find here also applies to the 1970 models.
Why?
As much as I happen to like these cars, and as special as they
are mechanically, they are not the
most well known cars in the world. I've owned several, including a '69 that my Dad bought
new and that I've had since they day I turned 16 in '84. Since
information on these cars, particularly the Canadian models, was pretty much non-existent
on the web, I decided to throw together what I had on the off-chance that there
are others out there restoring these cars. Now it's been copied everywhere
and more sources have come online, which is great. If you find it useful or
entertaining, please drop me an email... it'd be nice to know you stopped by!
I can be reached by email below.
