| | 1968 Pontiac Firebird & Grande Parisienne ad (Canada) |
 | | Truly exciting news for 1968 was the 327, not only because it replaced the ancient 283, but also because the previous standard powerplant, even for the venerable 2 + 2, was the 155 hp "Astro-Six"! |
 | | The bottom car appears to be a Grande Parisienne which was, in its 2-door version, at least outwardly similar to our Grand Prix in 1966 and '67 (interestingly, the Canadian series included a 4-door hardtop and station wagon). |
 | | But, for '68, the Grand Prix-like grille adorns what looks to be a stateside Catalina Sport Coupe body with fender skirts, thus losing the Grand Prix's exclusive formal roofline and concave rear glass in the process. |
