john2dameron Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I was looking at cars at a show in the 1980's and a guy was showing off his 1931 Pontiac coupe. Had the passenger door open and there in the door sill was a plate that said Seaman Body Company or something to that effect. When I asked him how a Pontiac came to have a Seaman body his answer was; "General Motors didn't own Pontiac yet when my car was built." My stunned reply was "What"? and he repeated his statement. I turned and walked away. I do not enjoy talking to car owners when they don't know anything about their cars. Anyhow, my question is, did Pontiac ever use anything other than Fisher bodies?

earl e rizer Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) My 1929 Pontiac was built in Oshawa Ontario, by General Motors of Canada. Never recall seeing a seperate body tag on it though. Edited December 22, 2009 by eeluddy (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
