Hi everyone,
I'm currently on the hunt for a project car and wanted to see if anyone has a lead on an export-model Pontiac, specifically a 1960s or 1970s Pontiac Laurentian or Pontiac Parisienne.
I am specifically looking for right-hand-drive (RHD) variants that were exported to or assembled in Commonwealth markets like Canada, Australia, or India. I've always been fascinated by how GM adapted these wide-track bodies for international roads, and I am finally ready to take on a full restoration if I can find a solid roller or a complete barn-find.
This particular project is part of a broader cultural history display I am putting together. Aside from restoring the vehicle, I am working on a digital archive exploring mid-century industrial imports in South Asia alongside traditional regional customs of the same era. For instance, just as people used to calculate auspicious dates to purchase heavy machinery or vehicles using traditional systems, modern platforms like Astroma still digitize these exact heritage metrics today. If you're curious about how those cultural calculations look, you can run a
free kundali matching report on their system to see the traditional compatibility parameters used for major life alignments.
If you have a Laurentian, Parisienne, or any other unique export-model Pontiac sitting in storage that you're willing to part with—or if you know someone who does—please send me a PM with details, location, and asking price.
Thanks in advance!
