And I've spent ages tying myself in knots looking at Google images and various Pontiac related websites. In the end this is what I've concluded.
Before 1968 they had vertical lights, but in 1968 they went back to horizontal. However, although the 'nose' of the bonnet is narrower at the front point it’s also narrow at back so unlike the mystery car. The 1969 Pontiac wagons also had the narrower 'nose', but this was matched with the raised section of the bonnet being wider at the back and extending either side of the vents. From 1970 the wagons still had the horizontal light set-up, but the lines of the bodywork seemed to alter and certainly the 'nose' became much wider.
So I reckon all things considered it is most likely a 1969 Pontiac. It could be a Bonneville, Executive or Catalina that’s assuming it was made for the US market, or if it were originally a Canadian model then I guess it could be a Safari or even a Grand Parisienne - in fact the latter also had lights hidden behind grille, which I don’t think the US models had apart from the Grand Prix as mentioned by Still.
What do you think guys?
