1986 Pontiac Parisienne review from North America
"A luxury tank!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No oil cap, there was a rag stuffed down there instead.
Windshield wipers go back and forth very slowly.
The previous owner said that when she bought the car it was red, now it's a nice ash color.
General comments?
I bought my 1986 Pontiac Parisienne for $150, it is going in the demolition derby. When I first took the car for a test drive there was no oil in it and the radiator was bone dry, she still did 75, despite some smoking. When I started to tare the car apart I was surprised at how hard it was to get all the chrome off, we had to pry the rocker panels of with a crow bar. This is one well put together car.
