1964?

I believe the chrome trim at top and bottom of grille makes this a 1963. Headlight also seem 1963, 1964 were more enclosed. Comments.

1963. It is a pillared sedan so is most likely a Laurentian.

I thought they are Canadian made for the Australia market :??:

Yes Canadian, built on Chevy frames. We had them here in NZ too. Locally assembled Laurentian sedans and a few wagons and Parisienne hardtops imported fully assembled. Only a few dozen units each year.

Thanks nzcarnerd :king:

This should add this for Australia market due it has amber turn signal lamps at the rear additional to being right hand drive with 1961 Pontiac instrument panel.

I think this is more likely Pontiac Laurentian than Parisienne due to the side trim...

As per above comments, Laurentian, not Parisienne. The 1963 Pontiac Parisienne was only pillarless/hardtop. A pillared Parisienne wasn't offered until 1964 (at this point, the Laurentian was discontinued).

No idea why GM bothered selling Pontiacs/Chevrolet in Australia in the 1960s. They were nearly 3 times the price of a Holden Special (meaning almost no one could afford one) and they only sold maybe 500 a year. Resale value was shocking, because they were huge and thirsty and nobody wanted them once they got old.
