May 2022 Feature Car
(Preview)
Our May Feature Car is an exceptional survivor. Bill Januszewski is the proud owner of this unrestored 1958 Pontiac Strato Chief Sedan. This is an example of the majority of Pontiacs that roamed the streets of Canada back in 1958 and your have to admit the 58 Pontiac sedans were one of the prettiest fou...

April 2022 Feature Car
(

(Preview)
Back in the day our cars didn't get a lot of love. In fact, twenty years ago it wasn't uncommon to cannibalize an Acadian, Beaumont or Canadian Pontiac to supply parts for a Nova, Chevelle or Impala. Some folks even converted Acadian's and Beaumonts to Chevy II's, Nova's or Chevelles! Isn't it about ti...

Folks, you are in for a great Poncho story! Brian and Freida Bergen are the proud owners of this 1966 Beaumont Sport Deluxe convertible. I'm not going to provide any spoilers about this car.

February 2022 Feature Car

We're ending 2021 with Tony Decorte's beautiful 1966 Beaumont Sport Deluxe convertible. If you have never seen one in person it's not surprising since only 565 were ever built. How many survive? Tony tells us how he found this rare machine: I live near Grand Bend Ontario and have wanted an old ride as l...

Who can forget that original 427Carl feature car?
(Preview)
As a little throwback to the beginning of the feature car series... going though all of them, working on that list to include thumbnails of all the cars, I went to the #1 car and it punched me back in time. I wanted this car so bad when Carl put it up, I dreamt and talked some game, but with no funds It couldn...

November 2021 Feature Car
(

(Preview)
I'm a big fan of 2 door post cars. These cars were designed for frugal folks who just wanted basic transportation. Most 2 door sedans never lasted longer than a few years. Luckily for folks like me there are still a few old sedans still around. Mark Craig's 1965 Pontiac Laurentian is one such car. Origin...

As most of you know owning a Canadian Poncho can be quite a challenge. Since these cars were primarily sold in Canada many succumbed to rust years ago making the availability of the unique parts these cars had quite difficult to obtain. Now imagine owning one of these cars in England! Ches Cole hails fr...

Many of us have experienced this scenario: We buy an old car fully expecting to do some "minor" work, perhaps even a quick paint job and nice wheels and leave it at that. Then, as we dig into the project we find out it needs just a "little more" than what we were expecting. Mike Giampaolo ran into this situa...
