(Preview)
To all CP members, We all know that Todd has taken a ton of pride in being able to find a CP to feature at the beginning of each month. Remarkably, he's been able to pull through and find a car worthy continuously for near 12 years. And it can be a tough job, seemingly running right up to the deadline more time...

As you know, I put a member's car on the title screen every month. I thought I'd take it one step further, borrowing an idea from the Yenko.net site. Starting with the March feature, I'll post a brief article on the vehicle. Here's how to get your car featured on the site: Send me a PM requesting to have you...

John Bury is the proud owner of this months Feature Car. John has owned this 1968 Pontiac Parisienne 2+2 convertible for 30 years. It was a pretty much a basket case when he bought it.

Our February Feature Car is this sharp survivor 1967 Beaumont Custom four door hardtop belonging to Kim Connors. Kim purchased the car from the son of the original owner.

January 2024 Feature Car
(Preview)
Happy New Year! Our first feature car of 2024 is one that has been in the same family since 1972. Unlike most that were discarded when rusted and worn out, this 1969 Parisienne was put away with the promise to restore some day. Luckily that day came and Dave Billings (son of original purchaser) restored...

It never ceases to amaze me when another rare Poncho comes out of the woodwork! Our November feature car is one such beast. Rob Shull has been the proud owner of this stunning 1966 Beaumont Custom convertible for 37 years. In fact he got the car before he even had his drivers license! Rob and his father ha...

It's always a treat to see another great Poncho that has risen from the dead. Our September Feature Car is Kevin Toohey's outstanding 1966 Beaumont Sport Deluxe. The car was pretty much a basket case when Kevin found it. Now it's freshly restored and will undoubtedly be a show winner. Here's are all th...

June 2023 Feature Car
(Preview)
I have to say I have a real soft spot for the bread and butter Ponchos. Sure, I love the SD's and 2+2's and the big block powered cars, mostly because of their performance and rarity. When it comes down to it though, the base models (often with six cylinder engines, four doors and relativley few options) w...

May 2023 Feature Car

It's extremely rare to see a 1970 Acadian these days. In fact we've only featured three other 1970 Acadians in the 15 years we've been running Canadian Poncho. Even rarer is to see a 1970 Acadian SS. It's a pleasure to feature Alan Fennell's '70 Acadian SS for May. With only 1282 built (how many had a ben...

March 2023 Feature Car
(Preview)
So few pre-war Canadian Pontiacs have survived. I suspect it's due to wartime scrapping and of course, the salt we use on most of our roads. It's always a treat to find an early Canadian built Pontiac to feature. Hans Boks owns this rare 1937 Pontiac Model 224. Left languishing in a field since around 19...

You won't be surprised that you likely haven't seen one before as so few were built in the first place. John La Grange owns this won...
