Kevin Nielson is the proud owner of this sharp 1966 Beaumont Sport Deluxe. Although originally powered by a 283 and a powerglide, this SD has something a little more exciting under the hood! The wheels really give this Beaumont a period look. I have to admit that the more I look at Kevin's 66, the more I w...

June is finally here and we have another great Acadian Beaumont convertible feature car. This time it's Tony Braga's attractive white '62. I've always had a soft spot for this body style and while V8's are a lot of fun, there's a lot to be said about GM's venerable straight 6, especially with today's ga...

I think it's fair to say that by the time February rolls around we're pretty much fed up with winter. It's even worse for us car guys. For most of us our toys have been in storage since fall. Sure, winter is a good time to do some of those repairs or upgrades on our cars. In doing so the yearning for spring to ar...

"Old Skool" rods and customs are so cool. They are the epitome of the blue collar builder. Although these cars are often built on a shoestring budget, they aren't lacking in style and innovation. Take Jeff Whitby's 52 Pontiac Fleetleader Deluxe custom for example. At first glance you mig...

Some of you may have already seen photos of Norm Hallett's beautiful 1962 Acadian Beaumont station wagon on Canadian Poncho. I felt however that this car deserved to be featured.

You don't see many 1970 Acadians these days. Those you do see are usually have 4 doors and 6 cylinder engines and most have been attacked by the tin worm. Well, we have a treat for you this month. Ray Friesen's 1970 Acadian owns this solid example. Not only is it a 2 door, it's also a factory SS 4 speed car! Ra...

It's been a while since we've featured an early 60's Canadian Pontiac. What better way to kick off the cruising season than with Brian Parkin's beautiful 1964 Parisienne Custom Sport? Brian's Pontiac looks almost like the one he bought new in 1964. While it may not have a 409 like his original, this Cu...
