Isnt that the 283 220HP  4 speed car that the owner bought when it was new or almost new?  usually out on sunday shows.  you, know the one-his valvecovers are on upside down.

 

Funny, your hood does not look like a 66 GP hood.     those butternut-goldwood-lemonwood cars are a dime a dozen!

 Hmm, I can't recall that car for some reason. The guys in it had my hair colour (gray) so I assume they may not be young guys. 

True, not a GP hood, might not be my car, might be a Beaumont hood!

 No engine in it so I suspect it was a big block. No B body Pontiac makes it far in southern Manitoba with a big block intact...

Maybe for those guys you see who can't decide whether to use their right or left foot for the brake? One brake pedal for each foot?

Or maybe like a tractor, individual wheel brakes for making tight turns?

This isn't exactly spotted but it's a picture of my car just a few blocks from here that I took almost exactly 40 years ago. You might be able to read the numbers under the front fender "Grande Parisienne"! 

Sadly the car has vanished, even though it sold only about 40 minutes from here around 1992. All my efforts to find it have been in vain.

 So this memory is the reason for trying the Magnum wheels on the yellow car?? I approve by the way. They are a very classy wheel.

 Yes, I remembered this picture in my photo album and dug it out. I always thought the crispness of the spokes on the Magnums really worked with the crisp lines on the Grande Parisiennes.
