Just keep on going and I'll say something when somebody gets it, it's easier that way.

QuotePontiac Grande Parisienne?

It's just grand. And it's basically the same as a Bonneville except it was Canadian.

Actually, it was Grande. (Parisienne is a feminine French word. The adjective 'grand' ('great'/'big') is linked with the noun, and as such has to have the feminine version, 'grande'.)

And I know it's basically a Bonneville. It was actually based on the Chevrolet equivalent. Grande Parisienne used Chevrolet 350, 396 and 427 engines, notably.

I have a book here that says "grand"! Maybe it's wrong.

It's wrong.

If it ain't any of the cars mentioned, it absolutely has to be a Ventura.

Bingo.

Phew! I thought this thread was going to go on forever!

Ventura was a Catalina trim package, so I think this was the right answer:

QuoteNo that's not it. Looks like a Pontiac Catalina.

I went around all sides of a Ventura and didn't see Catalina on it anywhere, so that's news to me.

So is it over?

giant_mtb · June 12, 2005, 10:22:51 AM

I think so... :blink:

Raza · June 12, 2005, 10:37:21 AM

Fuck.

280Z Turbo · June 12, 2005, 12:08:09 PM

Excerpt from the book:

"Catalinas could be equipped with a Ventura option package that included specific badges"

Raza · June 12, 2005, 12:17:57 PM

Alright, let's start a new one. Someone do an older Benz, so I can get it. Please?
