It's that time again! The poll is now open to vote for your favorite 2017 feature car. The prize this time around is this high quality portable battery booster. It has enough oomph to boost everything from small 4 cylinder cars to diesels up to 6.0L. It also has dual USB ports for charging phones as well as a flashlight. Retail value is $149.99.
Here's a recap of our 2017 feature cars:
January: Doug Keith's 1938 Pontiac Silver Streak Deluxe Touring Sedan
February: Dave Anderson's 1964 Acadian Beaumont Custom
March: Rick Yakimek's 1965 Pontiac Parisienne Custom Sport 409
April: John Bernier's 1972 Pontiac LeMans
May: Michael Aberhardt's 1967 Beaumont Station Wagon
June: Jake Heubner's 1968 Pontiac Grande Parisienne
July: Randy Bilton's 1969 Pontiac Parisienne Convertible
Down to 2 as 1st. choice ... so I flipped a two-headed nickel.

'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
About 30 years ago I looked at a 69 Strato Chief (2 door) with a straight 6 and no options (other than vinyl roof) and 25000 original miles in Mt. Elgin. It was also pale yellow. What turned me off is there was a lot of rust bubbling under the vinyl top.
2 wagons and a 409 currently leading, all good choices if you have to make one. I too like them all.

So which one is the"ultimate car" ? '65 or '66? As usual you make no sense

As usual your opinion wasn't needed Ford boy.
By the way, I see you have mastered using the capital letter at the beginning of your sentence. Do you think you could figure out how to end it with the correct punctuation now? In this case it would have been a period.

I noticed yesterday that you had no votes Randy, and I really hoped you didn't find that discouraging.
It certainly is no reflection on your car. The competition here is vicious!
I have said for years that we need to make sure that people understand, feature cars do not need to be rare, perfect, expensive or incredible survivors. Sure we love to see that type of vehicles but the reality of it is, the foundation of Canadian Poncho is a whole bunch of very "average" examples, low horsepower, plain Jane cars. It's what's available and affordable.
