My dad also had a RHD '63 Bel Air that was assembled down here in the General Motors assembly plant here in NZ from knocked-down-kits from Canada.
They shared the same Chevy dash board, his '66 Pontiac Laurentian had a '65 Bel Air dash.
Because of import restrictions here in the 50s and 60s Pontiacs and Chevrolet were imported in kits and the shared the same drive trains and interiors.
We also had a Ford plant that did a similar thing through the 50s and 60s with the Fairlane. My dad had a '60 RHD Fairlane.
