Pontiac abandoned the split grille for 1960, but it was reintroduced in 1961.

OK Folks, I'm the owner of the beautiful 1960 Parisienne. I had a great laugh about some of the comments but I haven't visited this post for about 3 years. First off, I put on the chrome wheels just to get it out. As some correctly deduced, the originals were flat. I did state this in the video. Second, I didn't try to start the engine because the gas in the tank was putrid, seriously! It was almost syrupy! Thirdly, I am not watching too much TV. When I went to see the car for the first time, we opened the garage doors and O crawled under the car with my flash light. Believe it or not, the old car had been Ziebarted! The undercarriage was impeccable! That's why I jumped at buying it. It is pristine! When I got the car home I wondered if it would start. I tried to turn it over by hand, but it didn't budge. I took out the plugs and sprayed "Sea Foam" into each cylinder. The next day, with a gerry-rigged gas can, it turned over. I primed it again and started! That was amazine! I have since had the car repainted the original colour. I did not put the original rims back on. I found some sweet chrome spoke wheels and she is looking awesome. When the pandemic has finally run its course, I'm looking forward to showing the old gem off at a few car shows!

Thanks for the update. I would have likely bought this car but being three hours away and unable to see it killed any desire to own it. My luck it would have been rusty underneath, I am glad it worked out for you.

Thanks for that. Around that year, someone also found a brown 1960 Laurentian , last plated in 1973. What are the chances?

The 1960 Pontiac's were beautifully styled cars. Look at those rear fender spears and the rear lights moulded into the trunk. The rear window with the overhanging roofline is fantastic. This has got to be one of the most stylish American cars ever. This example is in amazing condition and a nice colour too. It's a pity about the non-standard wheels, they ruin the look. That PT cruiser won't be worth much in 40 years.

Just to add my 2 cents worth about the wheels. At first I also questioned why the shiny , updated wheels them it suddenly made sense. The new owner put them on to get it out. After 40 years of sitting I'm certain the originals would be at least flat, if not worse. It they had enough room to open the door and get in, replacing the boots would have been easy. Snug but still possible. Do you really think somebody would create a photo op with such a car by making it dirty, pushing it out then dragging with a chain yet leave the new, shiny wheels on? Now THAT doesn't add up. Oh yeah, it was 40 years, NOT 48.

Nao sei qual foi a historia dese carro, mas la no passado algumas pessoas o projetaram em folha de papel, e do papel a idéia foi adiante e homens, máquinas e ferramentas o fizeram com que deixasse de ser um desenho para virar uma realidade. E de uma fábrica foi para uma loja de automóveis e assim começa a historia de alguém com um belo carro, é agora o encontramos em uma garagem nesse lastimável estado, que pena.

If you listen back they said they changed the tyres the week before, wheels are obviously newer than '70.
