night cub ◊ 2024-03-29 22:39	Yes, based on a 1970 Pontiac, I think the Executive series did the chassis models?

The Consort was the shorter version, sitting on a standard wheelbase chassis and 100 units were built by the Superior Coach Corp. in different versions. All these Pontiac coaches came from Superior's plant in Kosciusko, Mississippi. This is the [L204] Sovereign Landaulet.
