I just went and looked at a 75 Parisienne 2 door hardtop. It's been sitting in a farm shed since 1987.
It's black, black vinyl top, black split bench cloth seats. Power windows, power door locks, power seat, power trunk, air, tilt, cruise, am/fm 8 track(!!), delay wipers, vacuum gauge, and best of all, 455 TH400!
It needs everything. The left fender was bent up when a piece of farm equipment fell over on it. All 4 corners behind the wheels have rust holes and the left 1/4 is bubbling over the wheels. He is not sure if he wants to sell or not. His son says he wants it, but realistically, it would take a good 8 grand to make it nice if a guy paid to have it done.

I'm not really shopping for one. It's just that this car is so close to home plus I have known the owner quite well for about 30 years. He picked the car up when it was about 5 years old.
Oh, and it's black/black/black. About my favorite car colors!

I found the brochure Carl, in fact I found two of them that appear to be identical except one is marked "catalytic converter equipped" with a caption on the back page: This literature is applicable only to 1975 General Motors vehicles equipped with a Catalytic Converter whereas the other says: The Catalytic Converter is a major component included in General Motors' Maximum Mileage System. However, certain engine/drive-train combinations are available without the Catalytic Converter. Ask your dealer for further information. There is no date on either one so don't know which one was published first. I will scan the Laurentian 2 door pages and send them to you, just PM your email address.
