We had a 1960 Parisienne station wagon in a copper metallic paint. It had a big V8, special ordered by the owner of the dealership. My father was told it was a 409, but it might have been another engine that had the same valve covers. It was a real torque monster. Despite only having a 2 speed automatic, every summer we pulled some big travel trailers through the Rocky Mountains with it. I remember it could pull the trailers and pass cars on the uphill grades. It was a really excellent car. Parisienne was the top model in Canada.

Copper metallic sounds like an awesome color...thanks for sharing.
In Canada, I'd guess it was a 409
Looks nice find
I've got another that I'll list soon...bubbletop '60 model also with the 389ci V8. Stay tuned.
