The movie Entertaining Mr Sloane (1970) has a pink Pontiac Parisienne (1959). It was a bit of a special as the car first belonged to Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd fame.

So, this is believed to be the same Parisienne that belonged to Syd Barrett. Nice :)

That's odd, I restarted my laptop, and I still see the old picture. On my phone, I see the updated picture. I guess it's time for some cleanup on my laptop :D

@screw. There are quite a few other Pontiac Parisienne's listed as US origin. Should they be fixed as well? Up until which MYs?

/search.php?resultsStyle=asList&sortBy=0&make=Pontiac&model=Parisienne - here is the list of them. I guess anything prior to 1977 should have Canadian origin?

VYP 74 was London, Nov 58 to Dec 59 "allocated in blocks", so likely to have been directly registered from new. Seems it was originally midnight blue until pink repaint, presumably because of the (brief) Syd Barrett connection.

Agreed, I normally like land yachts but this is a bit tasteless.
