Saturn Simon ◊ 2006-02-05 12:09	Is this scene in Canada?
Hecubus ◊ 2006-02-05 12:25	Based on what little I've read, every episode from #23 onward took place in Canada (or, more specifically I think, someone will probably correct me on this, in Toronto - I've already seen terminal 2 of Pearson Airport, a TTC streetcar, and a Toronto Star truck in a few of the pictures).

stronghold ◊ 2006-02-07 23:34	Also from eps 24***
rjluna2 ◊ 2007-04-08 01:26	Made for Canada market. Probably locally assembled.
blk95ta ◊ 2007-07-24 04:02	i thought the parisianne was 1981 and up, and this being a 1977 is a bonneville
qwerty_86 ◊ 2007-07-24 04:45	They were called Parisienne in Canada before 1980 if I recall correctly.
philr ◊ 2007-07-24 05:30	qwerty_86 a écrit They were called Parisienne in Canada before 1980 if I recall correctly. That's right, they were called Parisienne since 1958 here.
greengeek1 ◊ 2011-06-28 01:26	philr a écrit That's right, they were called Parisienne since 1958 here. They were Chevys with Pontiac exterior body and interior instrument panels, as real Pontiacs would be to expensive to import from the US at the time for the market size in Canada and American Pontiacs were too big for Canada. They actually imported them to the US from 1983 to 1986, as Pontiac needed a full size rear drive car to get back lost sales.
SixtiesSwing ◊ 2021-03-04 03:41	Offhand, from what I recall, once the 1971 B-bodies were introduced, the Grand Parisienne, Parisienne and Laurentian were essentially the Bonneville, and Catalina. I think the Catalina was even sold in Canada about this time. The Chevrolet engines / chassis arrangement of the 1950s / 1960s was due to tarriffs on US-built vehicles that were eliminated / phased out with the Auto Pact in 1965. In the 1950s and 1960s, Canadian Pontiacs were closer in price to Canadian Chevrolets and marketed in a similar price point mainly because the small towns would have either a Chevrolet-Oldsmobile (and Envoy!) dealership or a Pontiac-Buick-GMC (and Vauxhall) dealership....(you can even get into the Acadian and Beaumont, too, if you like a dizzying carnival ride)! But by the time this Parisienne was introduced, it was just a continuation of the Canadian name on the American counterpart. Free trade had American cars being shipped to Canada, while Canadian plants churned out cars for our consumers. I might add this generation of Parisienne was VERY popular with Canadians as I remember they were all over the place visiting in my border town, and will still occasionally see one while on a Canadian road in mild weather. I still get a "warm and fuzzy" feeling about this car that I well remember from my youth. -- Last edit: 2022-06-09 22:30:27
sixtiesswing ◊ 2022-05-27 06:30	Incidentally, as a followup to my last post, I am rewatching these episodes. The photos of this car are from two separate episodes with the red Ontario diplomatic plates on it as on screen in "Complex" (23). The right side has the fenderskirt in place, and the other removed im all scenes. HUH??? The same car with mismatched fender skirts is featured in another Canada-set episode "The Gladiators" and has standard white Ontario "Keep It Beautiful" plates. The Parisienne is used here by CSIS agents (or similar) tailing the Russian diplomats. When the agents first get in at the docks, a closeup of the agents getting inside only shows the roof, and the soundtrack has the distinctive sound of a Chrysler starter....but then we see it is The Parisienne trails a 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 to a diplomatic residence near Toronto, and wait in a stakeout parked on the street. The Russians leave in a silver Parisienne sedan (and the Russians could afford to keep both fender skirts!), and as the two Canadian agents trail them, they report that they are following a light "Chevy"......HAHAHAHA!!!! The production is sloppy all around, as is the boom mike seen in one of the first Canadian episodes, etc. Nice to see the mid-1970s renaissance of Toronto fresh at the time, but there is some decline in the quality of the production with the local crew, sadly. It holds up surprisingly well, and is entertaining. -- Last edit: 2022-06-09 22:41:49
