Always a good idea to stop at Tim's for a cup of joe before the run back to TO...





And so ends a good car day,

Thats my dads old beige 64 sedan in the background.  Did anyone get pics or talk to the owner?

I'd say 54, I was #53 then the gold Acadian Beaumont SD arrived. Problem was the forecast called for rain, but it never came, cold wind though.

We'd agree on the 69 T/A, still it was a nice car. We saw it at Tim's, he never came in to the dealer.

Maybe Hillar got a picture. We gabbed so much we were rushing to get shots before everyone left. The 4dr. was a nice solid car, when I walked past there were several guys chatting looking in the engine compartment.

All I have to say it was a great time meeting Ray, Darryl, and Hillar after chatting with you on the board. It used to be "When was the last time you saw a '73 GTO?". Yesterday's question was "When was the last time you saw a '73 LeMans GT?" and not only one, but two in the same place.

Spent too much time talking and never got to the other side of the parking lot, so the pics showed me what I missed. I really enjoy seeing so many Canadian Pontiacs. I rarely see any in the states. Kudos to the Classic GTO Club of Ontario for putting on such a nice show.

Thanks Hillar that is really cool.  Dad and i were fairly attached to that car. We owned it for over 10 years.  I did all the work on it.  And have the complete history

Car looks about the same.  i  notice the incorrect aircleaner decal was added.
I wonder why the doors were repainted???????????????????

If you do ever talk with the owner, they are welcome to call me anytime for a history lesson.  I also have info on the original seat cloth.  I was going to redo it before i sold it, but never had the time.  I even got a sample too.  

I hope it sold to a good home.  (unless it is Calvin that still owns it, but i know he was trying to sell it 1yr after i sold it to him)

Parisienne, it had a 350 stroker with vintage M/T valve covers. Love those side "rockets".

I bought this car from the original owner 20 some years ago for $100 . They bought it new at HMP.

Past it on to my brother Mark and he did a great job of restoring it. 

The full designation is 1958 Pontiac Laurentian Parisienne.
