Pardon my dust.

Her yearly detail is soon to come, she's still in storage. I hooked the battery back up for her first drive this year, she fired right up like always. I had too much fun listening to the carb's two back barrels kicking in.
Stock hubcaps are in the trunk. I don't want 'em getting dinged up while my girl's in storage.
87,858 miles when I parked her back in the shed at the end of her exercise run.

Yep, miss her terribly, but don't want her to be my daily driver. My Bonnie was my great grandma's last car.

Would also love some interior shots too if you dont mind. Friend of mine has a parisienne in that gen, shame they didnt have the bonneville as the huge one instead.

Car looks GREAT!
I had a 1982 Parisienne (Two Tone Blue) and a 1982 Parisienne Brougham (Gray turned Two Tone Gray). What fantastic vehicles. I finally got rid of my last one at 613,800km. Someone still drove it around another year. These old gems just went forever. I miss it to this day
The blue one was my first ever car. Seeing yours sure brought back some memories for me.
Which engine do you have in that?

Thank you all! :D I'll get some interior shots next time I'm at my parents', and hopefully I'll have time for a good wash and wax next time around too.
ddaler, it's a Chevy 305 v8 with a 4 barrel carb. The whole car is Canadian made, so it came with the Chevy parts.

I definitely can visualize that car with its steering cocked to the right, body leaning to the right, drifting with the motor revving away at redline with smoke pouring out of the rear tires...
Talk about Great Grandma's Revenge!
