BTW, is the pic of the rear or of the front?

Crap, I know this....

It's the front, the center of the grille.

I think I was actually supposed to make GTCC #53, but that's fine. I didn't really feel like it anyway.

Sorry, I didn't know there was a line or something.

And no, not a Pontiac Parsienne.

There isn't a line, whoever gets the last one (#52 in this case) gets to post the next one. Don't worry, 280z made the same mistake his first time :lol:. And, I am not even going to try to guess, the picture is absolutely horrible and I have next to no knowledge of cars from the '70s and '80s.

I enlarged it. You're not missing any important details. It's from the outside of the car.

Here's another picture of the exact same car:

Not true. I got mine over a dozen ago and I missed my window, and I haven't one since. I was close on someone's, but I guessed every Alfa ever except for the one it was.

It's not a Riviera. People are on the right track though.

That is a Pontiac of some sort.

Looks like a '68 Bonneville.

But Bonneville it ain't.

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.

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

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

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

Excerpt from the book:

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

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