    Those are the Pontiac Parisienne taillights. My Parisienne has them on it, and the 1984 sales brochure shows them on the Parisienne. The 80's full size GM wagon taillights are all interchangable, the lens is just different. They look great on your wagon though, and the wheels are excellent! The whole overall look of your wagon is just awesome! Very cool!!

    Well whatdaya know Thanx for that. I had no idea, or reason to believe that the previous owner changed them. I thought they would be the same. Thanx for setting me straight. Now too I know what I need to look for if they get broken.

    Looks good so far...I'd make the paint job as glossy as the rims.Which look great!:) Just watch out for speed bumps.I don't know about where you are,but they're all over the place here in SoCal.Like tumbleweeds and crabgrass.:taz:

    Are those tumbleweeds taking Metrolink from Victorville to get to you, Taranau?

    tumblin' tumbleweeds

    Due to rampant development in recent years,much of the San Fernando Valley's open spaces have gone the way of the dodo,but there are still patches of tumbleweeds and wild mustard plants in the area.Victorville,even Lake Los Angeles,does have a higher tumbleweed population.When I was a kid,growing up in Lake View Terrace of the 60's and 70's,tumbleweeds still growing in the ground was where to go to find alligator lizards.:yup:

    I like the one in the top pic. The way the di-noc is set up is almost like the old Vista Cruisers.

    I have a lot of speed humps in my area too. You my want to keep the back up for practical purposes. You never know when you need to go up a rather steep incline. The car looks great. I'll be glad when I can start focusing on cosmetic stuff. Still dealing with the windshield washers not working and the windshield leaking. Oh...sorry getting off topic. Yeah...Great ride! :D
