Default '58 Pontiac Pathfinder

I don't recall ever being aware of that name plate. Is it a Canada only model?
I'm also curious about the 'porcupine' valves on the inline-6. Is this something other than a Chevy 235?
If you're a fan of 'Will It Run' videos, this is fairly entertaining. Good music too.
The car is a rust bucket and probably should have been crushed, save for the chrome trim and glass.
I like this guy's laid back attitude though. He just does it for the challenge.

Yes, a Pathfinder was a Canadian model, based on a Chevy chassis and drivetrain. The six cylinder engine used in Canadian Pontiacs was a 261 cubic inch version of the 235.
