I listed this Parisienne Safari as a Catalina which is the closest option on the eBay platform (no options for Parisienne or Safari). The Parisienne was built by GM of Canada and shares a lot of the sheet metal and trim parts with the Catalina. GM of Canada engineers must have been Chevy fans though because they commonly used Chevy engines and other Chevy parts on the cars they produced under the Pontiac brand. This car has an X-Frame like a Chevy and when I originally purchased it years ago it had a 409 Chevy engine (which is long gone).
The car is very presentable inside and out. I believe it to be an older restoration. The body and interior show some wear and tear accumulated over the years but overall a really neat car but with plenty of imperfections that give it character. The tri-tone interior really stands out and is very unusual these days. The dog house had been removed but the car has now been partially re-assembled to make transport easier.
Additional parts are included (clutch pedal, horn button/ring, fasteners, etc.). Additional parts will need to be purchased in order to realize your vision for the car. The transmission tunnel has been clearanced for a manual transmission shifter (see photos).
The underside of the car has been undercoated which would not be unusual for a Canadian car. It looks like the suspension and other parts were repainted when the car was restored. The car was in Florida when I purchased it. I was told it belonged to a "snowbird" couple (Canadians that winter in Florida).
This would be great to put back together and enjoy but would also be a fun "dare to be different" hot rod project. Wagons make great cruisers and have extra room to bring along lots of gear.
I was not able to get the rear (tailgate) window down easily (haven't put much time in it). It has a crank with a lock. When you turn the key one way the mechanism free wheels (to prevent theft). Turn the key the other way and the mechanism is supposed to engage in order to roll down the window. I think the locking mechanism is worn - it just barely engages but seemingly not enough to easily roll down the window.
