Full size wagons are awesome! I have two '86 Chev Caprice Estate, '89 Chev Caprice Estate, '92 Olds Custom Cruiser, '96 Buick Roadmaster, '72 Ford LTD Country Squire. Best way to roll...
Best Car Ever
Nice looking station wagon. By the late 70s through the mid 80s, Pontiac definitely made the best looking cars of its time. And the Parisienne is no exception. I think you pronounced it right. I'd buy one myself if I were in the market to buy a one, particularly if it's properly maintained mechanically. Nevermind what it looks like on the outside, as long as there are no serious rust spots to see. I've always loved American cars, and cars by General Motors are my no 1 favourites.
The diesel 5.7 was first introduced for the 1978 model year (in September 1977). The Seville and the Oldsmobile Delta 88 and Ninety-Eight were the first offerings to catalog it in the options list.
The diesel versions are rarer yet, since the Oldsmobile 5.7L mill (not a gas engine conversion as many people like to think) was problematic. Despite improvements made to the block and other places as of mid-1981, buyers remained wary of the option until it was finally dropped in mid-1985.
The diesel versions are rarer because they were pieces of junk - just a slapstick approach to trying to raise fuel economy.
Nice car I love old school cars
nice car. I got one exactly like that the other day with 530 original miles in perfect condition !
I bought one of these right out of high school as I was always ending up as designated driver and my AMC eagle wasn't cutting it. I still remember the look on the cops face when he pulled us over with 9 guys in the car. He was not impressed lol. The exhaust had broke off on the RR tracks and it was kind of loud. Though my 8 passengers were in no condition to notice lol
Probably from the carbon monoxide poisoning 🤣
From 1958-1981, this was the Canadian market version of the Pontiac Bonneville/Catalina. During 1981 Pontiac dropped the B-body Bonnie/Cat from the lineup; a bad move, since traditional B-body Pontiac buyers wrote letters explaining the hasty departure; so around July 1983 Pontiac of Canada was drafted to extend the Parisienne sales to the U.S.
FYI everybody the Chevy 5.0L 305 C.I. VIN (H) has the oil fill cap on the valve cover, and the Oldsmobile 5.0L 307 C.I. VIN (Y) has the oil fill cap on the top front of the engine near the center of the fan shroud.
beautiful car i must say
Nice!
@jarjarwinks My guess would be the Chevy 305, Pontiac didn't put the 307's in their cars until around 1986-87
rear-wheel drive can do things that would be difficult to do with front-wheel drive. If you have a trailer to tow, for instance. Try towing an Airstream travel trailer with a front-wheel drive Pontiac Bonneville.
nice car if only the uk had some cars like that and i like the wood part only Morris miner had a wood version.
My girlfriends grandma has a wagon exactly like this one except hers is gray it has 89000 original miles and garage kept
where did you find the wood grain kits you talked about because i have a 1988 pontiac safari wagon and its the exact same body i need the wood and one hub cap and i'll be good to go lol could get the plastic around the bumpers too but im not really worried about that
Realy good looking car dude. Realy wish we had some on norway... But we got the mercedes-benz station wagon 1985 model then. That one aint so bad, but this one is definitly looking nicer!
Love this wagon. Is this still for sale? I used to have one like this.
i thought they were trouble prone and based after the 350 gas engine... aparently from what the conversion to diesel didnt go so well.
anyways nice clean car, you called it little and i chuckled, those cars were large vehicles they ran and road like a dream. my uncle had one just like this car
is this car still available?
Buicks are nice cars, but by the late 70s through the mid to late 80s, I've never found the Buick full-sized cars to be as attractive as either the Pontiacs, the Chevrolets or the Oldsmobiles of the same vintage. I don't know why General Motors discontinued the Pontiac and the Oldsmobile brand name when they did, and not the Buick. Another thing I'll never comprehend is why they did away with the full-sized rear-wheel drive cars. I'm not against front-wheel drive cars, but I believe that
One of my friends had a car like this .
He used to ride around with a Doberman Pincher named Spike in the back and he would pick up prostitutes and have sex with them . LOL
its allright thanks anyway, and nice vids
niceeee
@flugmi omg you have found the holy grail.

Prior to its arrival in the U.S. in the spring of 1983, the Parisienne was the Canadian market version of the Bonneville, or rather the Chevrolet (Chevy) Caprice, save for the obvious badging.
Here's the story of how the Parisienne came over to the U.S.: you see, back in 1981, the whole U.S. auto industry was mired in the 1980 recession triggered by the mid-1979 energy crisis, and auto manufacturers were doing whatever it took to get them through these dire financial effects. In the case of Pontiac, that involved discontinuing the B-body Bonneville and Catalina (along with discontinuing its V8 engine line per a new GM policy in which Pontiac supplied only 4-cyl engines, Buick only the V6s, and Chevy and Oldsmobile (Olds) making all kinds of engines), and Pontiac transferred the Bonneville name to its mid-size G-series platform for the 1982 model year.
The smaller-sized G-body Bonnie did not sit well with traditional buyers of the model; and so the attempt was made to have their Canadian plant turn out an extra batch of Parisiennes for the U.S. market starting in early 1983 to make up for the lost generation of buyers who had been unimpressed with the small Bonnie.
The American Parisienne lineup consisted of two trims: the base model was called simply Parisienne (rather than Laurentian) to replace the Catalina model, while the Parisienne Brougham trim was intended to represent traditional Bonneville buyers. The standard gas engine was a Buick 3.8L (231 cu. in.) V6 engine, which seemed weak enough in the four-door but quite weak in the wagon, so most people opted for the Chevy 5.0 gas V8 (which was superseded by Oldsmobile's unrelated 5.0 V8 during the 1986 model year). Rounding out the list of engine options was the Olds 5.7L diesel V8, which was not well-known for reliability despite some improvements that helped make it more desirable than the 1978-80 builds.
1983 was also the final year for the Parisienne 2-door coupe in the model's native Canada, which might explain why it was not included in the U.S. lineup.
When the series returned for the 1984 model year, only minor changes were made. Starting in 1985, Pontiac revisited the 1981 Bonneville's external details and applied them to the '85 Parisienne sedan. The infamous Olds-built 5.7 diesel V8 was dropped mid-year. The other engine news for '85 was that the Chevy 4.3L (262 cu. in.) V6 replaced the Buick 3.8L as the standard engine, which better tolerated the sedan's weight but not quite so much for the Safari wagon.
For the sedan's final year, 1986, an Olds 5.0L (307 cu. in.) V8 gas engine replaced the Chevy 5.0 at mid-year. After the sedan was discontinued (it was replaced by the H-body, front-drive Bonneville), the wagon continued into the years 1987-89, called simply Safari, and using only the Olds 5.0 engine.
Hey what kinda motor is in this? Is it the Olds 307?
I was wondering if you could tell me the difference that feel is between the 1984 Pontiac Parisienne Station Wagon that you reviewed, and the 87 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon. Other than the engine size did u notice any major differences. I know they are both in the same family. I am looking into buying a 1985 Pontiac Parisienne, this is why i am asking. If you could give me any advise, or what to look for, i would really appreciate it.
I think the only substantive difference may be the engine. At some point in the mid-'80s, GM stopped using the Chevy 305 and switched to the Olds 307 for all the full-size wagons (Chevy, Olds, Buick, and Pontiac).
I pronounce it: PA-REEZE-ZEE-ANN.
little? this is not little to me just kidding I know what you meant I think the second way you said it is closer. I wish these wagons were more common
its soposed to.
Merriam-Webster pronunciation key: /pǝ-'rē-zē-'en/
Hydroboost on a 305 wagon??? I've never seen that before
If Pontiac couldn't name this car "Bonneville," then instead of just retaining the Parisienne name for the U.S. version, why didn't they just recycle the old "Grand Ville" name that they last used in 1975?
Few weeks ago I saw a New Zealand used car ad and was sold as 1984 Pontiac LAURENTIAN [wagon].
Par-ee-shian. But they'd never have this car in Paris. It's too large, and American for their tastes.
Dont export it , i think we keep all of our classics here!!!!!
Pronounced "pa-reeshi-ann"
