1985 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham review from North America
"A luxury bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only thing that is not original is the carburetor.
That is because someone tried to adjust the choke, and instead of using the original screws, they use pop rivets.
The car has hit 3 deer, and shows it only by its lack of a hood emblem, a cracked windshield, and a chunk of paint off of the hood, this car is a tank.
General comments?
For a large car, it handles extremely well, and will break 110mph, if you are patient enough.
It is extremely comfortable.
