1969 Canadian Pontiac Model Line
The Canadian model line begins with the
Stato Chief featuring dog dish hubcaps, short tail lights, no side trim, a
six-cylinder and three speed manual. The Laurentian adds body side molding
without an insert, thicker seat foam, and a
cigarette lighter. Not until you reach the Parisienne is the base engine a
V8 (350 2bbl), which adds passenger side dome light switches, rocker panel
mouldings, and a rubber insert on the side moldings. The Parisienne
carries the longer taillights, and all Canadian cars ride on the same 119"
wheelbase. The Grande Parisienne, closest to the US Bonneville, brings the
metal grill, rear Endura pad, molded Bonneville door panels, C-pillar
identification, trunk trim, and so on.

1969 US Pontiac Model Line
The US model line opens with the Catalina, which is 122 inch wheelbase, short rear overhand, shorter tail lights, dog dish hubcaps and plastic grill. Plain cloth seat pattern (vinyl in the convertible) and plain door panels. Base motor was the 400 with a 2.73 axle.
The Ventura option adds the nameplate, pleated vinyl seats, fancier door panels with wood trim and a lower carpet section. The Executive stretches the wheelbase to 125 inches (all in the trunk, not the rear seat). Adds the Decor group with clock, deluxe steering wheel, drop moldings, etc and the same interior as the Ventura. Wagon models feature exterior woodgrain.
The Bonnevile brings a chrome grill, rear Endura bumper, ribber rocker trim. Molded door panels, front center arm rest, fancier vinyl seat pattern. 428 standard later in the year. No woodgrain on the wagon.
The Brougham added fancier cloth seats (or real gold or black leather in the Brougham Convertible), power windows, and C-pillar badging.
All wagons were built on the shorter 122" wheelbase.
If I understand the US model line correctly, the Ventura is merely a trim option package on the Catalina model, and as such did not have its own distinct model codes (in the same fashion that the Brougham is a Bonneville package).
