Just a quick note to say hello to all the Poncho brethren out there. Very glad to see this list gaining so much popularity, especially for the B body crowd. After the demise of Canadian Classics list, I thought we might never see another list for Canadian Pontiacs.
My love of Pontiacs comes from my childhood and most of my relatives having driven Pontiacs back in the day. When I was 6 years old, my grandfather had a 65 Parisienne, 6 cylinder, Madeira Maroon Metallic with white interior, uncle had a 66 Beaumont 283 convertible and dad owned a 66 Strato Chief, 283, 2 door sedan. As a young kid, being surrounded by all these Pontiacs left a lasting passion for the marque.
Cheers to the new list!
