From Alex Emond: "...from different eras, both stylish but remarkably different. I saw the 1937 Pontiac in Willow Bunch,. Saskatchewan and the sleek Parisienne was parked in a neighborhood in Swift Current. Those ivory Bakelite (maybe) turn signals are a cool detail. I have seen similar doodads on old Indian motorcycles. It looks like the owner /restorer made some of the grille pieces - did a nice job. He was inside the gas station with some of his friends. Seems like gas stations in small towns have a table or two for locals to hang and complain about Trudeau, and the weather. The blue '66 Pontiac Parisienne really stands out in a neighbourhood with all the bland look alike new cars and the BIG pick up trucks. From a time when you could tell what was coming two blocks away."
