Another mid-1970's Pontiac, and this looks more like a station wagon. |

1975-1976. It does not appear to have the grille of either 1975 full-size wagon. Since this was filmed in Canada, there are three possible 1976 wagons: Laurentian Safari, Catalina Safari, and Grand Safari. It appears to have round headlights in square bezels, which rules out Grand Safari. The Catalina has a bit more trim than the Laurentian, but I can't see the side here. |

I appreciate your attention to detail, Tim. What are your primary sources? |

In this case, http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/main.php?g2_itemId=68344 (the Laurentian Safari is not illustrated, but is listed in the text) Old Car Brochures is a very useful resource, but they don't have a whole lot of Canadian brochures. Canadian Poncho has more Canadian brochures linked in this thread but not a whole lot from the mid 1970s. I also use Google image search, but it's hard to find good pictures of these wagons. -- Last edit: 2010-07-17 23:06:30 |

You also have to be careful with Google Image as MANY of the vehicles are mis-labeled, sometimes grossly. Old Cars Brochures is quite useful but there are many gaps. Was not aware of the Canadian site. Thanks. (My interest and knowledge doesn't stray much beyond the US border!) |
