Windshield wipers jammed the first week, and it was hard to start with the 4 bbl carb loading the engine up. The Firestone tires came apart early on and the mini vent power windows went out. Big comfortable and fast but poor quality. This is one of the reasons Toyota is so I big now.

I have friends who bought cars from the estate of an elderly owner who could not drive anymore or have passed away. One guy in 2003 bought a 1974 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham 2-door coupe. The owner had died and car was purchased from a defunct dealership called Marvin Starr Pontiac in 1974. The owner was selling being he did not need another car and gasoline in Canada now sells for $5.50 a gallon even though they sell it by the litre. Also the Parisienne was the Canadian version of the Pontiac Bonneville. Another guy I know bought a 1972 Chevrolet Caprice Classic coupe from a lady who passed away in 2011. She passed after her 90th birthday 🎂 born in 1921. Car was in Edmonton, Alberta and was purchased from Don Wheaton Chevrolet, Oldsmobile in 1972. Same story as well no need for another car and the cost of gasoline in Canada.
