[ QUOTE ]
I don't remember this as a Canadian application but it's possible it could've been from one of our '69 Acadians or some other Canadian unit of the era?. Sometimes Holden or other GM branded products marketed in places like Oz, S. Africa and Venezuela etc used exact or similar trim parts...often for years later than we did too.. And Verne, wasn't there Canadian car W-motor valve covers w/ the word Pontiac embossed into them too?. ![]() ~ Pete [/ QUOTE ] Not to my knowledge Pete. I've seen several Canadian Pontiacs with 409s and they have no logo on the valve covers at all. Verne ![]() |

After a bit of searching I found pictures of the 409 covers without the bowtie on them. The site also said the outside rear view mirrors on some of the Canadian built cars didn't have the bowtie either.
![]() With that info in mind, I'm thinking even more that these caps are from north of the border. The comment about the 409 covers and finding the pictures of them was just another piece of the puzzle. Thanks for that info Verne. ![]()

Canadian Pontiac hub cap. 409 valve covers in canadian pontiacs had no embossing and were "super flame" decals on the air cleaners instead of "turbo fire"
