Pontiac
B-Body 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, they are clearly not the
most popular 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, is 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. If you find it useful or
entertaining, please drop me an email... it'd be nice to know you stopped by!
