Almost finished.
I tried to make the seats the closest possible to the original. Now there are only the front bumper, the exhausts and a few more details left.

Beautiful! Is that a 3-tone interior (black, white and soft green)? The exterior paint looks almost mint green - what color is it?

The exterior  is crystal green with snowcrest white roof. It's really light green in the pictures, but when you look at it in person, it looks  a little darker than in the photos.

The interior is Grey & Ivory, but the seats are silver, white and dark blue and tthe carpet is grey.

Thanks!

The city I live is very, very dry and fairly hot...  It's usual to have a few months without a single drop of rain. Nowadays is not very hot, it's around 27 / 28 Celsius degrees. biggrin
And the materials are PU (I'm not sure if you call it this way too) and the brand is Sherwin Williams

lots of credit to you. Restoring that car in Canada would be a challleng.  Were the Pontiacs Parisiennes assembled in brazil? What models were offfered & what options. How many were built / imported. Any other info would be interesting

Thanks for the comments guys!

This car wasn't assembled here, by the way GM never manufactured/assembled Pontiacs in Brazil. I guess it was imported ready.
GM only assembled CKD Chevy trucks in Brazil at that time. The first Chevrolet built here was only in 1968, and it was called Opala. The car was based on the Opel Rekord.

As far as I know, this is the only 1959 Parisienne in the whole country. If there's another one, it must be very well hidden. I've seen a few american Pontiacs in shows, mostly from the 60s, but never a Canadian.

Some more details above:
