The red car is a 27 Pontiac which is essentially the same car as the 26. The centre grille bar didn't arrive until the 1929 model and would remain a recurring theme within Pontiacs right until the end although only in the badge in later years. The grill on the 27 is correct but should be nickel coated instead of body colour, that one is an "as bought" car with a full restoration coming soon. Since these Photos I have added a 1932 Pontiac V8 sedan to the stable and am building a 27 buckboard out of some of my accumulated parts, just for fun. The "split head" six began in 1926 and ran well into the 30s with major upgrades in 1929 which boosted power from 43hp to 60hp.

And GM killed Pontiac and Oldsmobile and kept Saab and Saturn. Dolts.
Aussiecowboy might be familiar with the Canadian-built full-size Pontiacs imported into Aus in the 60's. I saw a few when I was there decades ago. Ford sent a few big cars too but no hi-perf stuff. The F-series was a later introduction, around '75?

Indeed I am familiar with the later Pontiacs, there are still a few Parisiennes and Laurentians getting around, all Chev mechanicals as far as I understand. I'm trying to buy a 58 Strato Chief at the moment. We had F series right from the beginning but not in massive numbers, I'm currently restoring an original Aussie 49 F3.
