Conceived by designer Harley J. Earl and hand-built by Homer C. LaGassey Jr. and Paul Gilland, the Special is a grand touring sport coupé that incorporated innovative styling ...
The Ramjet is a continuous-flow port-injection system. Unlike later fuel injection systems that used electronics, this one is based on purely mechanical principles. The two main sub-assemblies of the system are the air meter and the fuel meter. The air meter measures airflow into the engine and manages thermostatic warmup enrichment, fuel ...
They featured Bonneville Badging, Chevy's manual linkage fuel injection systems mounted on Pontiacs 347 cid V-8 engine. The transmission was a Jetaway 4 speed automatic. In 1958, the Bonneville was first given its own position in the Pontiac lineup as the ultimate Pontiac, and was only available as a two-door hardtop and two-door convertible ...
They used Pontiac's 347-cubic-inch (5.7 L) in 1957. For 1958, GMC reduced the bore of Pontiac's 370-cubic-inch (6.1 L) to 3.875 in (98.4 mm), resulting in a displacement of 336-cubic-inch (5.5 L). (In Canada, however, GMC used the Chevrolet small-block engine rather than the Pontiac.) For 1959, as the Pontiac engine's stroke was lengthened to 3 ...

The Parisienne sold in profitable numbers and this car continued in production until 1986 for the sedan, and 1989 for the Safari station wagon.
