1971-72, whatever it is. Maybe even a '73. |

I would vote for a '73 Grand Ville convertible... but I am not sute! It could even be a Canadian built Parisienne of the same year. -- Last edit: 2013-07-07 17:16:56 |

It's definitely a 1971 model. The 1972 had vertical dividers on the taillights, and the 1973 had triple strips and the reverse lights were located on the fins. I was looking into what taillights the Parisienne Brougham had, and came across this on Flickr (the front end is a few pictures ahead): 1971 Pontiac Parisienne Brougham by brougham_geezer, on Flickr Which shows the Catalina-style taillights, so this should be a 1971 Grand Ville. -- Last edit: 2013-07-07 18:28:34 |

Not quite convinced it's not a '72. The fact the rear lamps are on combined with the blurriness may obscure the dividers. Also, the subject car appears to have the rubber bumper rub strip added for 1972. |

You can see the dividers on the left taillight. |

1972 Grand Ville. It has the vertical strips in the tail lights and the rubber strip along the bumper. '71 did not have either. Catalina had different lights and Bonneville did not offer a convertible model. |
