What year was the Parisienne made?

The 1984 model year was the first full year of production for the Parisienne in the US market, but it saw only a few minor changes. The biggest change related to assembly. It was during 1984 that GM’s Oshawa plant stopped production of all B-body cars, including the Parisienne. So, for the 1985 model year, production of the Canadian Parisienne moved to the United States. With this change, the Pontiac division stepped in to make the Parisienne less of a badge engineered Chevrolet. The old sheet metal dies for the 1981 Pontiac Bonneville/Parisienne quarter panels were dusted off and put back into action. This change also included the addition of fender skirts. The front sheet metal remained unchanged, meaning it used the Chevrolet fenders and hood along with the Pontiac grille. Pontiac made more effort to differentiate the interiors for 1985, with the Parisienne Broughams interior living up to its name. The 1985 effort certainly tried to elevate the car somewhat above Chevrolet, unlike the 1982-84 models which were more of an alternative to the Chevrolet.

For 1987, the 4-door sedan was replaced by the new full-size FWD sedan, the H-body Bonneville. The full-size wagon continued for 1987 to 1989, but was simply called the Safari wagon.
