Found this today at a small car meet.

Engine is a Chevy 396 but check the VIN, car is numbers matching

Yepp, a'68 Parisienne 2+2 in descent condition. Apparently they had a Chevy drivetrain and some other components from Chevrolet.

CANADIAN FULL-SIZE PONTIACS WERE BUILT ON THE IMPALA CHASSIS WITH CHEVROLET DRIVETRAINS. THEY WERE AVALIBLE OVER THE YEARS WITH 6CYL., 283, 327, 348, 350, 396, 409, 427, 454. THE BODIES HAVE SOME DIFFERENCES TO FIT THE IMPALA CHASSIS. VERY UNIQUE CARS!

Intresting to see that the canadian version has 14" wheels(with lemans hubcaps) where as the US version came with 15" wheels.

And... yes... I know the canadian version is built on a Chevy chassis..... and '69 full size Chevys came with 14' wheels standard.
