1966 Grande Parisienne, I'm the lucky second owner
Permalink  

I'm glad to be making my first post in this forum. I'm Dan Wells from New Westminster, BC. In early August, I purchased a 1966 Grande Parisienne Sport Coupe from the original owner in Edmonton, AB, where both owner and car have always resided. I've known the car and owner since 2011, when I wrote an article for the Edmonton Journal about them. A copy of it is attached, as are some photos of the car taken before I drove it to its new home.

Oh my goodness, a white interior!!! Absolutely beautiful cars to begin with and then white interior to boot. 

Can't wait for more pictures and details. 

And Dan, may I suggest that you send pictures and any story you have about the history of the car, your purchasing the car etc to the site administrator Todd so he could feature it for a month at the top of this page. Each month he features a different Canadian full size Pontiac or Beaumont or Acadian.

This isn't your article though, is it? This was also an Edmonton article I believe-

1966 Pontiac Grande Parisienne as Canadian as they come | Driving

That was an article I wrote in 2011. I created about 70 vintage car stories for the Edmonton Journal Friday "Driving" section between 2007 and 2012. After their initial publication in Edmonton, the stories were picked up and published by the Editors of the other major daily newspapers across Canada owned by the same media conglomerate.
