Nominate a Canadian Poncho to be the Feature Car of the month,
(

(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...

Want your car to be featured? Here's how!

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...

October 2023 Feature Car
(Preview)
Our October feature car is one that had been featured before (July 2017), prior to a restoration. While the car looked very good in it's previous form, it now looks outstanding! Mark Craig is the current owner. Randy Bilton owned the car when it was last featured and he performed the transformation. F...

September 2023 Feature Car
(Preview)
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...

August 2023 Feature Car
(Preview)
Dave West is the proud owner of our August Feature Car. Dave found this 1966 Beaumont Sport Deluxe convertible in the Auto Trader. He was quick to the draw and beat another fellow to the owners door and struck a deal. Dave and the Beaumont now reside in Texas. I can just imagine the strange looks his Beaum...

July 2023 Feature Car

Our July Feature car is only the second Pontiac from 1953 we've featured (the first was back in May 2015). This 1953 Pontiac Pathfinder belongs to long time Poncho member Tim (and his wife Becky) Lang. Tim rescued this Pathfinder from a life of total neglect in 2015 and transformed it into the cruiser...

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
(Preview)
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...

Everyone dreams of finding a "survivor". That classic car that has somehow survived all these years without getting hit, repainted or restored. With our typically harsh climate, there aren't too many Canadian survivors. Bruce McInnes is lucky enough to own this awesome 68 Beaumont Cu...

Our April feature car is this sharp 1965 Pontiac Parisienne Custom Sport belonging to Ken Odenbach.

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...

It's a rare treat to feature Canadian Pontiac's from the 1950's and earlier as so few remain. It's my pleaure to feature this survivor 1954 Pontaic Laurentian Sport Coupe. 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...

Some of you may know about John Hall's love for American built 1969 Pontiac's. John (a.k.a "North") has a fantastic collection of '69's that covers just about every model Pontiac released in the US that year. What he didn't have was a Canadian built Pontiac. I think the first Canadian built '69 John ch...

Kevin Toohey is the lucky owner of our December Feature Car. It was well over a decade ago that I saw Kevin at the swap meet in Paris Ontario and he confided in me that he owned this 1965 Acadian Beaumont convertible. It's not just any Acadian Beaumont convertible. This is one of "less than 8" built wth the...
