True, Pontiac stopped building sedan deliveries in 1953 for the U.S. market; in Canada, however, the Pontiac sedan delivery continued a little longer, as we can see from this 1956 Pontiac Pathfinder sedan delivery for sale on Hemmings.com, a car based on the same-year Chevrolet body and chassis, using a Chevrolet truck drivetrain. Given its unusual configuration and limited production numbers, it’s probably a good thing that it has recently been restored and still has many of its original parts. From the seller’s description:
one of 1,383 made. These trucks were based on the 115” wheelbase Chevrolet chassis and running gear. Its engine is a 261 cubic inch Chevy with solid lifters, as used in the big Chevy trucks, the standard Pontiac engine for 1956.
I have owned this truck for 16 years. The following work was done to the truck and I have driven it less than 2,000 miles since then. Here is my window sticker:
Body and Paint: Rechromed bumpers front and rear, bumper guards, parking light housings, grille and hood ornament which is unique to Canadian Pontiac; New outside mirrors; Stainless trim and silver streaks in great polished shape; All script badges present and in good shape; Paint is single stage urethane; Door jambs, inner fender panels and firewall with engine out also painted; Appears to have had rocker panel repair, probably over 30 years ago. New windshield and gasket; New hood hinges
Mechanical: 261 cubic inch engine rebuilt at 61,430 miles. Not original block. Mileage now shows 62,3XX. Mallory electronic ignition; Vintage Air; new 12 volt alternator; Sun Tachometer converted to 12v from battery power; Remote oil filter; Dual exhaust with glass packs…sounds terrific! Dual Rochester single barrel carbs on Offenhauser manifold; Split Fenton exhaust manifold; New clutch; Rebuilt radiator; Rebuilt vacuum wiper motor…reluctant to work…. Rebuilt front end and steering. Steering box rebuilt by Lars Mfg.; Rebuilt brakes; Rebuilt 1962 Chevy Saginaw 3 speed full syncro overdrive transmission; Aluminum Wayne valve cover
Interior: Seat, carpet, door panels and headliner … older but all very good; Speedo rebuilt and not reset…true mileage unknown; Ammeter, gas gauge, oil pressure, water temp, tach (all nice faces) and E brake all work; Steering wheel recast. Wheel and horn ring was a deluxe option and rare accessory; Full width divided seat in vinyl….standard was two small bucket seats; One visor standard…no radio; Inside rear, all original side panels in place and in good condition….rare to find like this
