1964 Pontiac Parisienne

Description

This 1964 Pontiac Parisienne convertible has to be one of the coolest ways to get attention at car shows. After all, we all love the look of a harmonizing color combo on a big cruising drop-top, and this one has the V8 power, upgraded suspension, and overdrive transmission to be an excellent cruiser. But you're likely going to find this one just as distinct for its history as you are for its cruiser style. Glancing at the cowl tag, you'll note that this car is a Canadian-market Pontiac. These were built on a Chevrolet chassis with Chevrolet engines. And while this fits on a Chevy wheelbase, they did a terrific job of making it look like a Catalina. You see it in the stacked headlights that are cradled by the bright chrome bumper, and the contoured tail lights that were part of the stylish Wide Track look. Inside, the wraparound chrome dash panel and detailed two-tone turquoise upholstery also have the right premium Pontiac style. So what does this all really mean? This is a great classic drop-top that's going to get you plenty of admiring stares at the stoplights, and if you also like to show your classic, this gives you one of the most interesting tales of rarity around.

There's even an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and Hooker headers to add power. The suspension includes additions like drilled & slotted front disc brakes, a rear sway bar, and a full Hotchkis tubular A-arm front end. And because this is a strong runner and a better handler, they upgraded it to an overdrive transmission to be great for trips near and far.

That's an impressive total package, and it can all be yours if you're quick enough to grab this seal. Call today!!!
