I have been a diehard poncho fan since I was 16 growing up in Niagara Falls, Ontario. In fact, I still own my first car, a 1967 2+2 Parisienne Convertible. I took it over from my older brother, who bought it as his first ride in 1972. I vowed that I would never sell it. I have owned it now for over 31 years.
I have been fixing this car up since high school auto shop and I continue to make improvements to its appearance and chassis. This winter I am going to update some of the chassis components like brakes, suspension.
So, I look forward to getting your help and advice.
really nice car and cool that you have had it for that long!! I know alot of us are glad we found this site. I know if i hadent i would have not been able to get my 59 up and running. Everybody on here is so nice and helpfull.

My cousin lives in Niagara Falls, he had a red '65 Custom Sport back in the day, he had that car into the mid seventies, lived off Drummond Rd. between Lundy's Lane and the Highway. Ever see it?

I love the car. If it was mine , I would add some color to the wheels/rims I used to sell wheels and rims Rallys with white letter or red line would brighten up the green (wish I could photo shop a example for you) lol heres a photo or two of mine in 81 Did I say, I loved the car?

I love the colour of yours. Works really well with the white ragtop. I agree with your rim observation. I plan on putting some nice shiny shoes on the car this coming spring.
Do you know if your former 2+2's are still alive and well! Mine had the same spoke hubcaps wheels as the one in your bottom picture. Unfortunately, the road salt really did a number on them.

As I said before, I love the color of yours, and the wheels are easy to give your/our cars a makeover The wire wheel covers, you see in that photo, are the "original ones" off the Beaumont "Holy Grail" SD red convertible.... I want 10,000.00 for them
