That is a '65 Kenmore 800 dryer to be exact. Look at the washer, the lid appears to have been bent then folded backwards in between the washer and dryer.

AMAZING

Oh My God! Where is a cop when you need one. Do you realize how unsafe that is? I'd hate to be inside that car when the refrigerator comes crashing through the roof!

(My Response): And I guess that includes that poor old Pontiac too, right??? I can see where it is sagging on the rear passenger side with that heavy load that it is carrying. If that Pontiac can come out of that without a hitch, then that's going to be saying a hell of a lot. I think that Pontiac has seen MUCH BETTER days.

The only thing that looks half way salvageable of that entire lot is that 1965 Kenmore Model 800 Dryer.

He's probably going to pull up on the scale, and hand over the title to the car.....

My thoughts exactly--waste of a perfectly good Parisienne!

Wonder if he should have put those things on a TRAILER instead of stacking the appliances on the roof and back of the car.
Charles-He could drive the whole thing onto the EZ Krusher car crusher.The machine would crush the whole lot!!Just hope he gets out of the car first!!

Pontiac from home

Did you know that the Pontiac Parisienne originated in Canada? This car was introduced here in the late 50s, and became available in the U.S. in the 80s. Pontiacs in Canada were based on Chevy's from the 50s through most of the 70s, when the genuine U.S. models started coming here. The Parisienne looked like the American Bonneville on the outside, but was mechanically identical to the Chevy Impala, then later, the Caprice. Some Canadian trivia for you;)

The reason the Parisenne came to America for 1983 was....

appliguy's profile picture
because in 1982 there was no full sized Pontiac available in America. The biggest Pontiac available in the 1982 US line up was the Bonneville G which was nothing more than the intermediate LeMans 4 door being renamed (the coupe version remained the Grand Prix). The CAFE requirement that was in vogue at the time was going to up the average MPG a car manufactures line had to reach on average and the only way Pontiac felt they could do that was to ax the full size Bonneville/Catalina series. If I am not mistaken the CAFE was either not raised or not as much as first planned so Pontiac then realized it could bring back the full sized line of cars again for 1983 (by then the recession caused by the 1979 energy crisis was easing and people were buying big cars again). Instead of renaming the intermediate cars again for the second time in as many years so they could call the full sized cars Bonneville again, Pontiac just decided to use the Canadian name Parisenne since the cars were gonna come from Canada anyway.....PAT COFFEY

If memory serves

The Parisenne came out for 1959 just like the Bonneville did and knocked the Laurentian downstairs to MOL from TOL just like the Bonneville did to the Star Chief here in the US...PAT COFFEY

Yes, I recall...

The American LeMans was renamed Bonneville, to replace the full-size line, downsizing by badge-swapping. In Canada, the LeMans kept it's name (actually Grand LeMans), but was otherwise identical. The "new" Parisienne was virtually a Chevy Caprice with the Pontiac nameplate, and was sold on both sides of the border when it was introduced to the Good Ole U.S. of A.

Back in the 60's I was visiting Canada as a teenager and I noticed a lot of strange things on cars. For instance, you might see a Pontiac with a 327 engine in it. Or cars that are from one division with another divisions name on it.

In the '80's...

...I remember seeing cars that were slightly different - or not available at all in the US when I visited Canada. I remember seeing a car called the Hyundai Pony which was available before we got the Hyundai Excel a year or two later in the US. The Russian-sourced Lada was available there as well.

That guy looks like he is headed for the pay phone to call AAA for a tow.
