December 2019 Feature Car
(Preview)
Sometimes we tend to forget that most of the Poncho's we covet today were daily driven in all weather conditions. They were exposed to salt, snow, rain, mud and because of this few good examples remain. However if one took proper steps (undercoating, regular cleaning etc) a car can survive these extr...

(

(Preview)
For our November feature we are stepping back one model year from our October car and showcasing Jason ("Jake") Sherlock's sharp 1963 Pontiac Parisienne. Jake just recently purchased this car and has been pleasantly surprised at how original it is and how well it runs. This Poncho has seen a fair sha...

Our August feature car is a real stunner! It belongs to John Carlson. John found this 12600 original mile 1966 Pontiac Parisienne while scanning the online classifieds. He was lucky enough to be able to purchase this incredible time capsule. John has now realized that owning such a time capsule can b...

October 2019 Feature Car
(Preview)
Disaster struck Pete Barber (a.k.a "DualQuadPete") a few years ago when his garage and two collector cars were destroyed by fire. Thankfully Pete was well insured and was able to rebound fairly quickly. The garage has been rebuilt and two new collector cars take up residence inside. One of these car...

September 2019 Feature Car
(Preview)
Usually when I'm preparing a feature car I'm too busy downloading, editing, and resizing photos to really take notice of the car itself. It's not until the feature is posted when I can really take the time to admire the vehicle. Well this time it was different. I found myself pausing at many of the photo...

July 2019 Feature Car
(Preview)
We have a great feature car for July! Great for many reasons including the fact it's a rare Beaumont SD396 four speed car. Great because this Beaumont's original engine may not have been what it was supposed to be, and also great because thanks to Canadian Poncho, the original owner of this car was fou...

(Preview)
Robert Meyer's first car was a 1959 Pontiac. He was 14 years old at the time and it was with this car Robert learned many aspects of automotive repair. Sadly, thanks to a move and loss of storage, the car was towed away to a junk yard. In 2014 Robert discovered this '59 Laurentian an it was love at first site...

Ryan Mostat purchased this 1967 Beaumont SD as his first car! It's been over 37 years since that purchase and in that time Ryan has put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into the Beaumont to transform it into the beauty that we are proud to feature for May. Ryan gives us the details: "In the fall of 1982 I was 1...

April 2019 Feature Car
(Preview)
It never ceases to amaze me the quality (and rare) vehicles some of our members have. Take Murray Metcalf's 1968 Beaumont SD 396. Not only is it one of 680 SD396 cars built in '68, one can only imagine how many were made with the 4 speed and in this colour combo. One perhaps? I know I'm "green with envy"! Mur...

March 2019 Feature Car
(Preview)
It seems we don't see too many 68-71 Acadian's and it's always a treat to be able to feature one on Canadian Poncho. After going through some hard times Ken Perry's luck finally changed and he was able to treat himself to this sharp 1970 Acadian. Ken has been treating the car to some much needed love and is...

June 2018 Feature Car
(

(Preview)
Our June feature car is owned by a fellow I've known for several years. While David Saint-Pierre usually owned "Forward Look" era Mopars (1957-61) this 1959 Pontiac Parisienne caught his eye and I think it's safe to say he is hooked on this Poncho. Rescued from years of poor storage, Dave put quite a bi...

June 2008 Feature Car
(Preview)
I felt it was time to profile an early Canadian Poncho and feel Al Taylor's '55 Laurentian is the epitome of what those of you who were lucky enough to be alive in the 50's would have seen in many Canadian driveways. Not only is Al's Laurentian beautiful to look at, it has the reliability to go the distance...

Our February feature car is a body style rarely seen on a Beaumont. Ken Yakemek owns this fine 1966 Beaumont Custom four door hardtop. Ken just recently purchased this car and is still in "investigative mode". He was kind enough to bring the Beaumont out into the frigid cold and take these great photos...

Happy New Year! It's hard to believe another year has come and gone. Let's begin 2019 with a Poncho that has been in the same family since new. Danny Lavoie is the proud owner of this 1969 Pontiac Parisienne. Danny's father bought it new and Danny inherited it when his mother passed away. He has continue...

November 2018 Feature Car

It's safe to say most of our favorite Poncho's are the ones with big block power and a four speed transmission. Since production of this powertrain combo was scant, only a few of us get to experience owning one. Kevin Montero is one of these lucky fellows. He owns this super rare 1966 Pontiac Grande Pari...

Our December feature car is one that I've been asking myself "Why didn't we feature this one long before now?". Don MacKinnon owns this sinister looking 1963 Pontiac Parisienne. Thanks to Don this Poncho went from being an original humble 283 car to the nasty 409 beast you see here. Without further ad...

Can you believe it? It's already December! We've had a great bunch of feature cars this year and I can think of no better way to complete the 2016 than to feature Tom Allen's stunning 1966 Pontiac Grande Parisienne. This black on red poncho really stands out head and shoulders above the crowd. What's no...

Mike accidentally stumbled onto this Pathfinder thanks to his job as a real estate agent. Other than a good clean up and a bit of inte...

As most of us know, this wagon wasn't always this nice. In fact it had one "tire" in the grave. With help from friends, Mike and Allison tr...

Brent Fulmek has owned this 1965 Acadian for 36 years! What started out as just a shell has been transformed into this terror you see here. Brent...
