American luxury

Back in the 1960s, a Parisienne was one of those cars that many aspired to, in party because it was so much more extravagant than most local offerings.

Pontiac in fact has a rich local history, with CKD versions being assemble3d here for a considerable period.

As John Wright points out in our feature on local Pontiacs: "High points of local Pontiac history are undoubtedly 1961 and 1965. The 1961 Laurentian with its leather and 283 Chevy V8 was an aspirational car as long as you went easy on the brakes. As for the ’65 Parisienne with its so-glamorous Coke bottle hip, pillarless Surfers Paradise dreamin’ and 327 Chevy power, it represented a left-field alternative to a Jaguar Mark X or Mercedes-Benz 250SE."

This example runs a 327 V8 with automatic transmission.

Located in Victoria, near Melbourne, it’s on the market at $79,990.
