Met a 71 year old farmer in Wisconsin who who argued that this was a NOVA. Insisted i come to his 100 acre farm on the Mississippi River for lunch. (what do you keep in a barn??) HOLY crap. His first car ever. A 63 Impala SS convertible. Factory mint condition. Then there was his son's barn. 

Minnesota, Wyoming, South Dakota (Sturgis YEAH!!) Bikers of all stripes and colours thumbs up. The one group of girl bikers, gal pulls up behind me at a gas station. Her first words were "Holy S...... ugar" THATS AN ACADIAN! My dad would kill to have this car!

I was in love with her!

Yes, agreed very nice car. Welcome from the Okanagan valley. I made that same trip through the northern States about 3 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it, even visited the Presidents.

Welcome, and nice car!. I made a very similar trip in 2004 from Niagara Falls with a 95 Caprice wagon through the states with no plates. I'd love to do it again!

Wow, first that is a beautiful car and so unique.  First one I restored was a 69 Nova SS.  Honestly there is something about the size of that 3rd gen Nova.  It just fits me so well.  I didn't really realize that until I bought my 66 Biscayne.  There was something so different about the full size car.  I came to realize that I had so many Novas that everytime I got into a different one it felt the same.  It was like an old glove, just felt so good.

In 2001, I bought a 1962 Canadian Nova Convertible in Kamloops, BC and drove it to Reno, NV.  It was August and I was there for Hot August Nights.  After a week there I drove the car home to Michigan.  One of the best trips of my life.  Couple years later, I picked up two cars with my dually and trailer, one in Oregon and one from Vancouver Island.  It was first of Dec. and I drove east on I-90 thru northern Idaho in a blizzard.  I love that road but with the 3 unit UPS & FedEx trucks being my only partners on the Interstate, they threw up snow that blinded me everytime they passed and I prayed my way into Montana and had a tire failure just west of Missoula.  That is where I found an old salvage yard with 7500 cars and I bought a couple wheels and tires off a one ton Ford P/U for the trailer.  I returned to that yard about 2 1/2 years later to pick parts but they had crushed 4500 of the cars.

Enjoy that Acadian, they are special in my option.
