    ..wow, Canadian Pontiac!That should be rare enough, as well as simple enough to work on, What with the 59-60 mechanicals underneath. (If You can call that "simple", these days either.)

    "59-60 Chevy mechanicals", meant to say. A friend in town here in Finland has one of those, a 4dr sedan. With the big, GMC -sourced 261 six like Yours. I think his is a "Strato Chief", though. Vast majority of the few Pontiacs sold in Europe in those days were of Canadian manufacture, with the 'foreign' to the US-Pontiacs Chevy track, wheelbase and mechanicals. May have had to do with the "CKD" -practice common at the time.
    ..Anyway, how's the Cadillac coming?

    It’s been awhile, but it is nice to see this Hydra-Matic refurbished in super-dark blue
