1959 Pontiac Parisienne Drive

Drive of 1959 Pontiac Parisienne.

I remember seeing those vehicles as a child when we crossed the Detroit river into Windsor Ontario. My dad worked for Chevrolet in Saginaw & Detroit from the 1940's till he retired in 1974. It was a hodgepodge of Chevrolet/Pontiac combined in one.

What a find! The interior is especially gorgeous and very late-50's chic. I'm so happy to see how you love, enjoy and appreciate all these cars. And you rescue them too from ppl that would quite possibly destroy them. Thank you for sharing with us! Looking forward to your next video :)

Makes me want to cruise this baby with Santo and Johnny “Sleep Walk” on repeat

That steering was the reason spinner knobs were so popular in the day, it's still possible to get one today, great stuff Adam 👍

Really interesting, engaging video on a car I never cared about but now am interested in all its interesting tours through the GM parts bin.

This is a truly beautiful time capsule car, sir!
I have a 1967 Pontiac "Frankenstein" (aka Parisienne) convertible with a 283 / Powerglide (I believe 1967 was the last year for both), but it does have power steering. Odd combinations like your car still existed in the 1970s... my cousin had a 1978 Plymouth Volare "Premier" sedan, and even being "Premier", her car had power steering, but brakes with no power assist. Didn't even think power brakes would be an option anymore by 1978.

Adam, I’m going to be honest. I have ADHD and anxiety issues at times. Your videos are a part of my therapy; I mean that in the most sincere way possible. If work or my kids are too much for the day, I take a trip back to 19 sixty-something or the malaise era and be perfectly at ease.

Adam, Be careful what you say about our 'Frankenstein' Canadian cars or we might send a few extra cold fronts your way next winter!!

I was _really_ impressed at how QUIET that car is overall! VERY little road noise, very little engine noise ... I'm thinking it'd be a REAL treat on a long drive. Thanks a lot for sharing with us :-)

Beautiful car. Thanks for sharing this video

Of all the cars you've brought out, this car is my favorite. Just something about 59-64 unique styles of the big three is appealing. It's so sad so many were rust buckets or thought of as disposable cars. Keep that car as a trailer queen. It's special.

I remember back in the early 90s I went to Montreal on vacation, well I decided to take a trip to that city's amusement park which is on an island by the Molson brewery, well I looked out the bus window and I seen what I knew was a Chevy Corsica, but it had Pontiac badges on it, well go to find out it was not a Corsica, it was a Canadian Pontiac Tempest. This was the second time I had been to Canada and I knew that in Canada they sold different vehicles, so seeing that Tempest I was not that surprised, but I did want one and still do, along with a 1980 Chevy Belair
