1963 Pontiac Parisienne. Ponteix, Saskatchewan

from Alex Emond: "...an old Poncho with a back seat full of ladies. Average age 100. I do like the girl who is driving ... great smile !" -AE

Parisienne was the top-of -the line Pontiac in Canada. The others were Strato Chief---the stripper--and the mid-range Laurentian. Canadian Pontiacs of the early and mid-Sixties were Chevrolets with a Pontiac body panels.  That's why the Canadian 1959 Pontiacs look so weird: they have the 'wide-track' bodies of that year bolted onto'59  Chevrolet frames and axles, which hadn't been wide-tracked--that was a Pontiac thing. And that's why my father somehow skipped the Canadian hermaphrodite and managed to buy a US Pontiac  in Montreal, our beloved '59 Catalina.
