May 2018 Feature Car
(Preview)
For May I am happy to feature James Russell's beautiful 1966 Acadian Canso. James and his dad Jim took what was meant to be a parts car and transformed it into a reliable daily driver that James can be truly proud of.

If you have never seen an example of this month's feature car in person it's not surprising! I'm sure it's safe to say that the majority of our membership hasn't seen a 1967 Beaumont station wagon given the extremely low production of this car. How many survive? Michael Aeberhardt's owns this beautif...

There's no better month than July for owning a convertible. And there's nothing better than a cruise with the top down on a warm summer night. What better way to experience this than with a convertible like this month's feature car. Randy Bilton is the proud owner of this 1969 Parisienne convertible....

Happy New Year! It's hard to believe 2018 marks the 10th anniversary of Canadian Poncho. Why not kick of the celebrations with a feature car that is truly a Canadian exclusive? Marc Allen owns this tastefully modified 1968 Beaumont SD. Marc had tried a few times to buy the car but the owner wouldn't sel...

We've all seen those classified old car ads. They are the ones with little or no description and terrible photos. If you are like me, you usually skip over them in search of cars for sale with better photos and more detailed descriptions. Andre Saulnier is not like me. He saw an ad for an old blue station w...

November 2017 Feature Car

It seems pretty apparent that 1966 is a popular year for our members when it comes to Canadian built Pontiac's. It's not really surprising given the clean, well proportioned styling the Pontiac's had that year. We have seen a lot of great examples of 66's here over the years. One great sixty-six that m...

October 2017 Feature Car

Our October feature car is one Poncho that got a new lease on life. What was assumed to be a minor fix turned into an extensive restoration. The results are well worth the effort! Ray Friesen is the proud owner of this four speed equipped 1970 Acadian SS 350. Ray tells us the rest of the story: I had always w...

It's interesting to see how many old Ponchos came within inches of being turned into scrap. Fred Paget's 1968 Parisienne is one such vehicle. Luckily Fred is a wise fellow who had the foresight to see what a great car it could be. It's been 31 years since Fred rescued this car from the crusher and with the...

It was a no brainer for me. As soon as I saw a photo of John Nelson's 1968 Beaumont Wagon, I knew this was going to be our April feature car. I'm sure you will all be just as impressed, not only by the finished product, but the blood sweat and tears it took to bring this wagon to it's current state. Here's the st...

Our June feature car is another Canadian Pontiac that is very rarely seen these days. Jake Huebner owns this sharp 1968 Pontiac Grande Parisienne. While he has only had the car since last year, Jake has already started to make improvements to the car. It's always nice to see a car like this in good hands...

We don't often get to feature those Pontiac models that were well known both in Canada and in the U.S. As most of you know those models built in Canada were often quite different from those built in the U.S. Specifically, many of these Canadian built cars had Chevrolet engines under the hood.

It's a pleasure to have Dave Anderson's 1964 Acadian Beaumont Custom as our February feature car. Dave's not afraid to get his hands dirty and because of this he can happily say that he did all the work himself. The results are a Poncho that not only looks great, but is also extremely reliable. Dave tell...

I'm happy to report that it now belongs to our veteran member, Carl Stevenson. The car is indeed in excellent condition and it's reassuring to know that it continues to be in good hand...

His Pontiac has to be one of the nicest Fleetlleaders in existance. Al resides in Rosholt, Wisconsin and I think it...
