I owned a 68 Pontiac Parisienne fastback 2+2 327cid.
This is the Canadian version of the Pontiac Bonneville.
Maybe trim options being slightly different.
Of the dozens of cars I've owned since 1977, this is by far my lost love.
An absolute dream to drive.
I thought it would be fun to build a model of one, but so far I have found:
a resin body on ebay (incomplete 1/25 kit) - too expensive anyway
and an original MPC 1968 Bonneville kit for $500.
LOL I only paid $125 for the car back in 1978, so I think that much for a scale model might be over the top.
If anyone comes across a kit...even a built or incomplete kit, at a more realistic price, please let me know.
Not my car...mine was deep blue...but a nice photo.
