Introducing my 1967 Pontiac Parisienne for your consideration: A true survivor 1 of 3872 built. This is the Third Generation of this car (1965-1970)~ It was Canada's 100th birthday and also hosted the World's Fair that year. Expo '67 was bringing the world to Canada, by way of Montreal, when this baby was marketed as: "a true thoroughbred, the Parisienne, bred for action and born of spirit, the last word in full size adventure cars." Sales brochure, 1967 Pontiac Parisienne Sports Coupe.~There's nothing delicate about this car. It's big and powerful and beautiful. The finest Pontiacs ever! The 1967 Pontiacs have quality, dependability, luxury, value and safety second to none of that era. ~It features: 283 Cubic inch V8 motor 42,900 original miles.~ No smoking car ~ vacuum power brakes, power steering, Newly rebuilt 2-speed Powerglide automatic transmission and factory AM radio. ~ New Starter, Battery, terminals, belts.~ Radial tires in great shape I purchased this car for my collection. I found it in Edmonton Alberta Canada. I bought it from the second owner. The first owner had made an arrangement to sell to a friend of his. This fellow turned out to be the father of a friend of mine who passed away before the deal was consummated. He passed away, she (my friend) inherited the car. Subsequently she had the tranny rebuilt, garaged it for 5 years in that time put several hundred miles on it . She told me she sold it because she did not like people coming up to her to ask about the car. I purchased it from his daughter (my friend) When I got it it needed a starter and battery terminals and belts. Did those things put air in the tires and drove it 600 miles to Missoula Montana and had it shipped on a car carrier to me here in Pennsylvania.The Parisienne entered the production lineup as a sub-series within the Laurentian line in the 1958 model year. Parisienne became a separate model in 1959.For most of its life, the Parisienne was the Canadian nameplate for the top of the line model sold in GM of Canada's Pontiac showrooms. Parisiennes were distinct from other Canadian Pontiac models by their standard features: the luxuriousness of upholstery fabrics; standard equipment such as courtesy interior and trunk lights; bright trim mouldings in the interior; distinct exterior accent chrome pieces; and availability of 2 and 4-door hardtops and convertibles.In particular, Canadian "full size" Pontiacs were actually closely related to Chevrolets, making use of the economical Chevrolet chassis and drivetrain, though with the American Pontiac-styled exterior body panels (they weren't the same as U.S. Pontiac panels since they had to fit the shorter-wheelbase 119" Chevrolet frame) and interior instrument panels. As Chevrolets under the skin, Canadian Pontiacs including the Parisienne used the same engines and transmissions as full-size Chevys, including the 230 and 250 cu inch 6 cylinder and 283, 307, 327, 350, 396, 400, 409, 427 and 454 cu inch V8s. These engines were mated to the same transmissions as Chevrolet, including 3 and 4 speed manual and the 2 speed Powerglide and later the 3 speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmissions.Built in the same GM of Canada assembly plant in Oshawa, Ontario, Pontiacs had parallel model lineups as "full size" Chevrolets: the Pontiac "Strato Chief" had similar trim level and upholstery as Chevrolet's "Biscayne", the "Laurentian" matched the trim level of the Chevrolet "Bel Air" and while the Parisienne offered similar amenities as Chevrolet's "Impala", the Pontiac version had unique and more costly upholstery fabrics, and beginning in 1964 the "Custom Sport" (later rebadged the "2+2") 2-door hardtop and convertible model line was in lock step with Chevrolet's "Super Sport". Finally, starting in 1966 Pontiac offered the "Grande Parisienne", a 2-door and 4-door hardtop models parallel to Chevrolet's luxurious "Caprice," although Grande Parisiennes through 1968 used the styling of the US-market Grand Prix. Though most of its life, the Parisienne resembled the US-market Bonneville despite its Chevrolet underpinnings.In contrast, the Pontiac Motor Division of GM in the US manufactured models with drivetrains, chassis and equipment unique from the other GM stablemates - Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Buick, Cadillac. Through much of the 1950s through 1970s, the American Pontiac model lineup included the "Catalina", "Ventura", "Executive", "Star Chief" and as the top of the line model, the "Bonneville". Additionally, unique to the US lineup until 1969 was the "Grand Prix", a distinct 2-door hardtop model with unique styling features and both luxury and "sporty" accoutrements such high output V8s, bucket seats, tachometers and flashy trim pieces.The mix of Pontiac exterior styling on an economical Chevrolet chassis and drivetrain at a price point marginally higher than Chevrolet, was a huge marketing success for GM of Canada. For decades "full size" Pontiacs took third place behind Chevrolet and Ford in sales, typically 70,000 plus units annually. In contrast, heavier and bulkier American Pontiacs, with far higher sticker prices and higher operating costs due to large displacement V8s requiring high octane fuel, would have little appeal in the Canadian marketplace for a number of reasons: a population base one tenth the size of the US, a less stratified society with lower disposible incomes, more prudent spending and savings sensibilities and far higher taxes and gasoline prices. On the manufacturing side, maintaining unique part availability for a low sales vehicle along with import/export tariffs and barriers between the U.S. and Canada would make the sale of American Pontiacs unprofitable in Canada.
