      Charlie Bruckman I legit saw a Cadillac commercial about a month ago and didn't even realize it wasn't an ad for some European crossover until they showed the brand name at the end. Even CADILLACS look like everything else today! I might not mind if the style actually looked decent, but besides the one size fits all bullshit, it's the ugliest era for car design we've ever had!

      I was watching a review of a $90k+ Cadillac CT6-V and looking at the back seats wondering why they looked so cheap, hard, and devoid of interest compared to this 1986 Pontiac. This was the era when auto manufacturers paid a lot more attention to passenger comfort and a luxury vs. today's focus on technology, performance, and driving dynamics.

    I've got one of these... a little less mileage. It was my late mother's car. She bought it brand new in the winter of 1985. Similar condition, it has never been in the rain or snow, and stored indoors. Burgundy paint, burgundy vinyl roof, burgundy interior, with identical seats and door panels as seen here. Very quiet interior! Interesting the car seen in this video has the Olds 307 with the oil fill point at the front of the motor, and the battery on the driver's side, while the 1986 Parisienne Brougham I have has the factory Chev 305 4bbl, with the battery on the passenger side, and the oil fill point on the valve cover.
    This was what GM was best at - building durable, reliable full size cars.

      My Mom was very proud of that car. It was the first car she purchased for herself. Prior to that we always had a single car for the family, purchased by my Dad.
      Nothing was ever carried in the trunk, and the interior still smells like a new car.
      Maybe I will make a video of the car one day, and upload to UA-cam. I have made videos for some older cars I have, but thought a 1986 GM B Body might be a bit too common to be of interest... maybe I am wrong.

Instead, the market has been taken over by the imports entirely. Those imports cost a fortune, and only Lexus is reliable. "Luxury" today means insane performance, but not everyone wants that in a car. Some would actually like soft, pillow-top seats.

I called it classic because its pretty much an old school car right? That is what luxury, normal, or sporty cars use to look like before they started to change throughout the decades. For example if I came up with a 1967 shelby

Probably never saw more than 55 mph on highways and never moved out of the left side fast lane. We've all been stuck behind the elders doing 55. Also the elderly always bring their cars in for service when needed. This is the type of car you want. Beautiful full sized Detroit Luxury!!

Then a few months later...the temp gauge pegged ..and I got it home ..and saw there was antifreeze in the oil. Ended up being the intake gasket...alrhough he only found that out after a guy bought the car and pulled the engine.
    I hated driving it cause I thought it looked like an old farts vehicle.

    GM was the most profitable when the different divisions were producing quality full size and mid size cars. The Olds 307 was a derivative of the 350 Rocket V8. The 307 was a great engine for these full size cars. We had one in a Delta 88 Royale and it soldiered on for many many years.
    It is really unfortunate that these cars got killed by the environmentalists and their CAFE crap.
    Hopefully it will go to a good home.
    The GMAC key chain was also a nice touch. The car was probably financed with GMAC when new. GMAC was great to deal with back in the day. Someone told me that GMAC was the most profitable division of General Motors.

I always find it odd how many times you see it quoted that how terrible 70's American vehicles were and how they were unreliable and would not last(??)...by contrast, I had a 73 Datsun wagon, 72 Toyota Carina, both rode like a wagon, weak as piss, seats hard as a board, no padding to speak of, you could feel the seat springs and frames...the Toyota was drinking oil and smoking, front end worn out well before 200k, the Datsun engine lasted a little better, but was very weak and the body rusted out. Both got around 18-20mpg.. I believe the mid-late 70's American engines actually started lasting longer, they put out so little power they didn't hurt themselves if driven and maintained reasonably, but still had enough torque to move along nicely. I strongly suspect part of the reputation of "not lasting", and the imports reputation of "lasting", came from the fact that American vehicles, until the late 1980's-early 1990's, did not display hundreds of thousand of miles on the odometer, whereas the imports did.. they simply rolled over to 0 again after 99,000 miles...I strongly believe many, if not most, cars on the used car lot that dealers claimed were "original miles"(what are "original miles, anyway?), were really 100,00 plus the "original miles"... I think this was a dealer trick to take advantage of the fact the true mileage was not displayed...also, I think many of the cars that looked obviously more worn, were passed off by dealers(and individuals) as having "a Hundred and XXX" miles, where in reality many had 200k, or even 300k miles....most auto trannies back then would last 100,00-150,00 miles before needing rebuilt...some longer. My theory of higher actual miles would help explain the always-worn out driver's door hinges, and the fact domestic cars suddenly regularly started accumulating more than 200k once the odometers were changed to display hundreds of thousands of miles.....

    This was nice to see. I liked the Parisienne when it got the 1981 Pontiac Bonneville sheet metal. This one is missing a passenger power seat. It is loaded. The Parisienne got the seats, the door panels( interior) and the rear doors to the back of the car is 1981 Pontiac Bonneville sheet metal. The instrumentation panel, front end (except the grille design) is Chevrolet Caprice. The 1982-1984 Parisiennes had more in common with Chevrolet Caprice as everyone said. They never stopped production of this car in Canada after the 1981 Pontiac Bonneville/Parisienne died. There was a coupe there too. This car was a success because Pontiac needed a large car as Bonneville switched to the G Body in 1982( replaced Grand LeMans). It was at a great time because GM had downsized the Oldsmobiles and Buicks around this time as well as Cadillacs too. It offered what customers expected from those brands. The wagon lived on through the 1989 model year as Safari. In 1990, Pontiac no more large rear drive cars. The final rear drive sedan was G8.

    I always forget Pontiac sold more traditional "Brougham" models like this and the G-body Grand Prix 2 door. When you say 1980's Pontiac, I always think of the more futuristic type of cars like the Firebird, Trans Am, Fiero, Grand Am(ugh) or the W-body Grand Prix with the million button digital dash.

    When I was a kid, my uncle had an '81 Parisienne Brougham (we never called big Pontiacs "Bonnevilles" up here in Canada), it was an odd-optioned car, had the 4.4 liter (267) V8, air, cruise (no tilt wheel), crank windows & manual locks & seats, but had a power trunk & cassette player. Always thought that it was odd that it wasn't fully loaded. It was gorgeous though, tu-tone silver over dark blue (slick-top) with wire wheels & dark blue crush velvet. He drove it into the ground pretty much & replaced it with a really basic '91 Chevrolet Lumina, it was nowhere near as classy as the Pontiac.

Sadly for 82 PONTIAC discontinued full size and moved Bonneville name to mid size. Soon realized mistake and used Parisienne name from Canadian PONTIAC. First U.S. Parisienne were much more Chevy like and referred to as CAPRICE in DRAG. PONTIAC went back to basic 80 and 81 Bonneville Brougham look. This one is a black beauty! 👍

    I have a white one with blue interior sitting in the building on the back end of my property. It has lower miles than this one. Only 31k miles on it. My parents have been together for over 40 years. When I was about 6. My mom and dad split up. My dad moved back to Georgia with his family and my mom took us kids to California with my grandparents. This could only manage to stay away from each other for about a year, because a year later they were back together. The Pontiac Parisienne is my dads and he loves the car. When him and my mom decided to get back together. He purchased the car from an older gentleman in Georgia just to drive across country to California. When he got to California. He put a cover on the car and it was never used again. The only time its even been moved over the years is when I moved it from my parents driveway to the building on my property and there it sits. Its in pristine condition. Apparently the gentleman that owned it never really drove it. Sold it to my dad. He took the 3000 mile trip across country in it and never drove it again. This is basically GM's luxury version of the Caprice Classic. They are nice cars. Ive actually wanted to clean it up and put it back on the road but my dads not having it. He calls the car his love chariot, because its the car he bought to get back to his baby lol.
