A 283 and a powerglide? The U.S. Catalina came with a 389 and a Turbo-hydramatic. The fabric on the cloth seats is also different. It appears similar, but more modern to what was sold in 1966.

I LOVE those Pontiac’s.. a 66 GP was a dream car of mine.

The Canadian Pontiacs were built on the frames of Chevrolets, let alone the engines and transmissions.

Yup - many differences between Canadian and USA Pontiacs at that time - drivelines, frames, body panels therefore, trim, model names etc etc.

I had a '65 Bonneville at one time (389 w/TurboHydramatic), and this one looks "stubby" by comparison. Did these have the same wheelbase as Catalina/GP? Seems like a large car for a 283.

Just reminds me that I have a pic of my mother at 17 somewhere, sitting on the Hood of this model during a family trip to relatives in Canada in 1968. No, I am not gonna post it.

Shorter wheelbase and 283 was the base engine. Larger engines were available - all Chev based in Canada.

The Parisienne nameplate was later used on the domestic B body Pontiac - early to mid eighties.

The 65 and 66 pontiac big car platform was the same body between the catalina, parissian, bonneville,ventura and 2+2.
The basic changes between the two years is the front grill. 65 is rounded and kinda dull and 66 is pointed and very "moving" in form. Some interior differences as well.

I've been a big pontiac car guy for years. I've got a 66 2+2 with a 421 big block pontiac. 389 was the baseline for American Pontiacs. 389 is a great running motor and will outlast most other motors be it gm, ford or mopar. I've had several.

I love big cruisers. That's why I joined here with the hopes of finding a 70 gt. Or maybe a polara or monaco.
