Thanks for sharing     Love the big old boat

Its funny how these early impressions in life influence us throughout life. Once a wide-tracker... Now you've got a 69 2+2 (a sweet one). The skirts look good on the old Cat, and Expresso Brown also looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

I remember a bunch of 69 Pontiacs in my neighborhood back in 69, but nearly all were Laurentians. There was a Crystal Turquoise 4-door and a Verdoro Green 4-door with a black vinyl roof cover. My best friend's grandfather owned a silver Laurentian coupe with a black vinyl roof cover. That car would get polished after driving it 20 minutes and it was always in perfect condition. There was also a Mayfair Maize Parisienne 4-door hardtop with a black vinyl roof cover. That one was pretty rusty by the time it was replaced in 1974 with a new Parisienne. I do remember an Expresso Brown Parisienne 4-door with medium green interior, not a combo that would occur to me. It didn't look as bad as you would think. Another friend's older brother put their Midnight Green Parisienne 4-door into the smashup derby at the fall fair. I didn't think the car was in bad shape so I was shocked that he did it.

One thing about the U.S. Big Pontiacs was that they had a 400 V8 as a minimum. In Canada it was most common to see a 350-powered car or the occasional inline six. The 396 and 427 cars were a rare sight.
