1959 Pontiac Parisienne 2 Door Hardtop, WILL IT RUN, Fail. Field Find Classic.

We try and get a 1959 Canadian Pontiac Parisienne to run but the timing gear or cam is broken. Distributer will not turn. This is a 1 owner field find car. Hot Rod Pontiac.

[@RusticByNature]

I am enjoying these old Pontiac videos.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Thank you there might be a few more to come and there will be a Henry j video coming soon.

[@jasonbose3507]

I absolutely love this car!!! The 59's and 60 is one of my favorite years for body lines and styling. A beautiful work of art. You are very lucky to have found this car. Thanks for sharing.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Thank you Jason would like to get back to it just been a crazy busy few weeks thanks for watching.

[@jackbaker452]

I ve now seen more pont.big car 6 clys at your yard than ive seen in my whole life down here in the 🇺🇸 kind of glad 🇨🇦 has them up there no offence mint kinda of a cool thing to see. Take it easy boys stay cool.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Glad you liked it Jack and like wise.

[@williamdeegan7840]

THANK GOD YOUR DOING ANOTHER PONTIAC. AND A 59 YET. 59 and 60 were similar years . 58 styling was one year only. This is straight up a 59 Pontiac Body but on a Chevy chassis with the Chevy drivetrain. So rare these Canadian Pontiacs.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Thank you William for watching

[@miker7294]

Neat car. Looks like it’s worth saving.

[@brianhaw9398]

That's another good looking old Pontiac . She needs a makeover but love the style. A283 or327 would help her move a little better . Should be a small block in your yard somewhere!

327 sounds pretty good. Thanks for watching

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Thank you Mary we might go back and try to fix it be nice to hear it fire up.

[@LSswapGarage1]

In for all the comments from US guys that don't realize these are more a Chev than a Pontiac and were never sold in the United States

[@goneshootin61]

They were pontiacs but with chevy engines they shared the same platform with the chevy division . The pontiacs were a much better car than the chevy's .

[@meh-canics9628]

The more you play with that car, the more I'm liking it! Theres a full floor and trunk floor for that at Wright Auction too

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Will have to take a look at auction. Thanks for watching.

[@kennethholder8898]

Good looking car to bad it didn't start maybe the next one will keep you the great videos

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Will go back and take a look in the fall.

[@goneshootin61]

1959 was the year that the big three made the longest full size cars in all their divisions . That pontiac is in great shape should be restored . Good find guys .

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Thank you Steve its a big car

[@garymccord4277]

another great looking Pontiac had experience with cam braking into two parts on 235 engine hence no dist turning. Cost to repair needs engine exchanged, Good reason to make it a v8 Pontiac anyway, also use some wheel spacers to make it a true wide track. You Guys sure have a wonderful collection of cars that everyone I know would envy.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

Thanks for watching Gary.

[@johnelliott7375]

Enjoy your day and I can't wait to see the conclusion of this one. My first car was a 1959 Oldsmobile Dynamic 88 sedan. 350 cu in V8 and it was 21'+ long and 9'4" wide. Was a good one for my deals but I didn't get the last time to ride it. Pride oh well. Tired beyond belief.

Thats when they made sharp looking cars.

That is too bad, but, in the day it was a stunning car, a lot more luxury than the Impala. I hope someone saves it, it needs a 389 or a 400 in it. Cheers

Well now you know why that car was parked it looks to be in good enough shape to save I would get that thing up on blocks before it sinks into the ground and rots the frame or rockers and floor out of it. Do you guys have the papers for that car or is it missing the ownership/registration?

Like those old Canadian Pontiacs. Down in a salvage yard in Oklahoma where I live you would have to be careful of rattlesnakes and copperheads. Deadly all. Be careful.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

We have nothing like that here Tom.

[@Windmill_Garage]

I would pull the valve cover and see if any rockers move if none move it will be either 1)timing chain or gears 2)end of the cam broke 3) crank broke on a main journal, if only a few move between the tc/gears and the distributor it's the cam. Quick and easy to do.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

We will lolling at it again just to see what all happened Brian. 👍😁

[@petesscrapheapgarage3130]

Hmm 🤔 I'm curious to find out what the solution to the malfunction is.. Wonder if it's simply just a sheared off crank timing gear Key that maybe can be snaked out from behind the crank bouncer with magnet & pick driver

[@kennethreiver985]

Those engines have a fiber cam gear and it has probably stripped it's teeth . Good chance that's why it ended up in the junkyard. It's a nice car and I hope it gets saved . The 261 is more than adequate to push that car down the road .

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

[@OdySlim]

So Right. The inline 6 engines always have lots of torque. People forget about that

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

@@OdySlim Got that right

[@gordhammond7105]

I can bet the farm the cam gear fiber is peeled off. Also remove the valve train. There are likely bent push rods which need to be straightened out

That's a cool car. If you don't feel like fooling with it, find a good home for it. Somebody will restore that car and give it a good home. It's a 2 door hard top. Those are almost always cool. It'd be a shame to let it sit there and rot, or get smashed up by punks.

[@pennyshotrodscustoms]

It will get fixed and will be worked on in the fall

[@jpalberthoward9]

@@pennyshotrodscustoms That's good to hear. Those cars are rolling works of art. A real high point for style. It's a good idea to restore and preserve as many of them as possible because there's never going to be anything like them again. I found a '59 Impals back in '83. It was really clean and straight. The body was near perfect, all the glass was there, and the interior was fine except for carpet. It didn't take much more than an engine, a front end, a new set of tires, and some brake work and she was good to go. It was an amazing car!
