1978 Pontiac Parisienne broughnam 350cu 4b

Summary:

Living room on wheels

Faults:

Brake lines, starter after 26 years, Differential.

General Comments:

It's the most reliable car that I ever owned.

It's roomy and comfortable.

Fully loaded; electric windows, electric seat, power door lock, cruise control, tilt steering wheel, both mirror are adjustable, bilt in light in passenger sun visor mirror.

I just hope it will last me for another 25 years.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

As far as the brake lines needing replaced, I hope I do not have the same problem. My Parisienne is an 81 model that has always been garaged and rustproofed. Thanks for the heads up for possible problems.

Pontiac Parisienne

Canadian Pontiacs, which yours is, were built in Oshawa Ontario.

With correct maintenance, she will easily do another 25k.

My '65 runs just great, a few decades later, with routine fluid changes and a rebuilt Powerglide.

Just keep her out of the salt.
