I'm wanting to pick up a master parts catalog to use on my '67 Cutlass project and for my website research. I've noticed quite a few Canadian Olds parts catalogs on E-bay. Are they any different from the U.S. versions?

I have a 663-A 64-66 F-85 catalog, the intro is in English-French. There are references throught out to Canadian jobs and US jobs here is an example from page 29

GROUP 2.275 DELCOTRON

1 1100633 1964/ALL - 52-54 AMP

Another thing they spell funny like "centre"
The Canucks may be able to clarify, it appears that with the Canadian version you get both.

Not sure of the context in this case, but "centre" is a activity place, like Study Centre, shopping centre etc. Wereas "Center" is the middle of something, center of the Earth for example. Just like "check". To Canadians "check" is something you look over like checking a list, or a body "check" in hockey. A "cheque" is a promissary note that any bank will honour, and a "Czech" is a person born in the former Czechoslovakia, or current Czech Republic.....a cancelled Czech is an abortion in that country.j/k

I have a hugemungous Canadian Parts Catalogue in an original blue GM binder and the 2-part US thru 1975 parts/illus books don't even compare to it eh. Totally different in comparison. One book int he binder says 'F85', and the other just says 'Oldsmobile' IIRC. I can take some pics if wanted.

The printings of the CA versions is in July 1972 though whereas the thru 1975 is 1983. I still use all of them, but some part #'s don't even show up in the 1983 version, but it might show a replacement part # though. They are all valuable, and I try to get as many variations as possible when I see them popup.
