- Hi Greg,
Congratulations on having your Parisienne named "Cool Ride of the Week". This is a "Cut And Paste" of the comment I left on the 'Cool Ride" Blog:
When I first joined Motortopia nearly two years ago, Greg was the first guy to welcome me and introduce himself, along with complimenting my Corvair. That has left a lasting impression on me. So has his Parisienne. It is one fine ride, and one rarely seen here, "South of the Border" in the States. So congratulations my friend - well deserved!

About
My Pontiac Parisienne Sport Sedan, Model 76439, came off the production line in Oshawa Ontario, Canada on January 17 1966. The next day it was shipped to dealer Jim Pattison in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
It was brought to Ottawa Ontario, Canada by a member of the military.
I purchased the car in the summer of 1988.
It was featured in:
Canadian Classics magazine Dec 1999
Ottawa Sun newspaper "Memory Lane" June 2002
Motortopia "Feature Challenge" Jan 2007
