General Motors Corporation has announced plans to kill Pontiac in an attempt to save the company. Not Pontiac, say it isn't so.
My first car was a 1966 Pontiac Parisienne, two door, deep red in color and for its day, a dream car.
I was in Lethbridge attending LCC which then was connected with the University of Lethbridge. It was actually my brothers car and he and I shared a little house north of Lethbridge so a car was a must.
When he decided to return to our home town of Peace River, Alberta he left me his 1966 Pontiac. Somewhere along the way he purchased another car and the Parisienne became mine. Two doors, automatic transmission, power to spare, a sweet car which served me for several great years until I traded it off for a truck. The truck was needed but the memories from that first car always remain. I hope General Motors and Chrysler straighten the ship and get it righted again and Ford continues to move along creating more memories for people of their first cars. There's something special about that first car, kind of like first love or the loyalty of a great dog. Those memories never really go away.
Interesting story. Like you said, A guy always has a special story to share of his first car. When I met Ed, he had this amazing 1962 Pontiac Parisienne, red convertible...wished we still had it, as we have looked high and wide for one, but to no avail. Seen black ones, but not a red one. Only photos of it!
