I once owned a '60 Bonneville with a 389 V8.  It was a very heavy car.  The 389 pushed it fairly well, but it was no speed demon from a standing start.  I gotta wonder how well an inline six propels this one.

 

A pretty unusual car, considering the drive train.  Thanks for posting.

Not only the Chevy six, but no "wide track" like U.S. Pontiacs, iirc.

Does that mean that this Pontiac Laurentian is sitting on a Chevrolet chassis?  If so, I just learned something.  I occasionally watch "Cold War Motors" on YouTube, and occasionally one of the cast members drives a '60 Pontiac powered by a Chevy six cylinder engine.  I just figured that the frame was a standard Pontiac adapted to accept the inline six.

 

Interesting...

Yes it's a Chevrolet chassis with a Pontiac body shell built in Oshawa Ontario Canada. The inline 261 C.I. was a GM MacKinnon built in Ontario as a Canadian Pontiac only engine. A bigger bore & stroke 235 Stovebolt derivative. Laurentian is the mid range model for 1960.

 They sure are a different vehicle than a  USA built Catalina or Ventura.

Another pic of a 60 Parisienne. Oshawa Canada built   Note the large gaps between the fenders and wheels.

Wow - with the wheels set in that far, this reminds me of the early '50s Nash Airflytes.  Thanks for the pics.

 

I never realized just how much the Canadian Pontiacs differed from the 'Murricans.

They are just like a 59 Chevrolet Bel Air sedan, but handle a bit worse due to the narrow track but wide body. Although I grew up driving a number of Canadian built Pontiac's and still really like them, I'd prefer a Wide Track USA Pontiac for a cruiser. Better handing and brakes as well as the 389.
