Ahh, Spring is in the air. The best part of Spring is not seeing the flowers starting to grow and the birds return from their winter trip south. Oh no. It's seeing great old Canadian iron on the road again. And the epitome of great Canadian iron is Marty Chapman's awesome '66 Beaumont SD. With a healthy 32...

Although we recently featured a 61 Pontiac, after seeing Greg Bronson's 61 Parisienne Bubbletop at a local show recently I knew I had to feature it. Some of you may remember seeing this car when it was for sale in Swift Current, Sk. Gary purchased the car and has been upgrading it ever since. Gary swappe...

If you attend cruise nights or car shows, you're likely to always notice a crowd around a "survivor". A survivor can be best defined as a classic car that's not worn out, but simply well worn in. A survivor is absent of any real restoration work. Maintenance items such as brakes, batteries and tires hav...

I'm convinced Clint Scherger is the 1970 Canadian Pontiac's biggest fan. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone else with such a nice collection of full sized 1970 Canadian Pontiacs. One example in Clint's stable is this outstanding 2+2 convertible. This Poncho wasn't always as nice. Clint's has spe...

The year 2010 saw the untimely end of the Pontiac division of General Motors, a brand that had been around since 1926. 2010 was also the model year GM reintroduced the Chevrolet Camaro. The death of Pontiac also meant the demise of any chance GM would also reintroduce the Firebird. However this did not...

Jim Carniato's 1961 Pontiac Parisienne "Bubbletop" is the first race car featured on Canadian Pontiac. Jim's expert execution of transfering this car from a worn out street car to a 10 second racer is nothing short of incredible! We're proud to showcase Jim's talents. And now Jim will fill us in on th...

I have to admit I'm embarrassed to have not really taken notice of Jerel Forsberg's beautiful 1964 Beaumont Convertible in the four years that Jerel has been a member of Canadian Poncho! Then, a few weeks ago I took notice of Jerels avatar. In that avatar was a photo of his Beaumont. It was at that point I...

For March I am pleased to feature George Dejesus' impeccable 1957 Pontiac Pathfinder Deluxe Sedan. I think it's safe to say that this is the nicest 57 Pathfinder Deluxe Sedan in existence. George did a fantastic job on the restoration. His attention to detail and correctness (not easy on a Canadian P...

Our unique Canadian Poncho's are a rare site in the United States. For those folks south of the border who own one, it's fun to see people at local car shows try to figure out just what these cars are. Peter Hall knows those reactions quite well. Peter lives in Klamath Falls, Oregon and owns this beautifu...

I think Wes Wright (66 Beau) was a member for all of 5 minutes when I sent him a PM asking if I could feature his immaculate 66 Beaumont SD. In my opinion it has "The Look" - the right colour both inside and out and those wheels are the perfect finishing touch. Here's more about this Beaumont from...

I can hardly believe we are entering our FOURTH year at Canadian Poncho! And what a great way to begin 2012 than with Bud Stephenson's fantastic 1966 Beaumont Custom. Bud's Beaumont has all the ingredients to make it an awesome musclecar. With big block power, a 4 speed trans and stunning red paint, wh...

We all know how rare Canadian Pontiac sedan deliveries are. So, it would be quite a treat to feature one on Canadian Poncho. And it was certainly a treat to feature Doug McCurdy's 1957 Pontiac Sedan Delivery back in November 2009. Well, we are in for yet another treat for November 2011. Doug has just fin...

Mike Ross is the lucky owner of this month's feature car. His 1969 Pontiac 2+2 has to be one of only a very few true surviving examples having only travelled just over 34000 miles in 43 years. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling green with envy at Mike for owning this car! Mike tells us more about the 2+2: &quo...

I've waited patiently for over three years for our veteran member Carl Stevenson to finish his Acadian so that we could feature it. Although it's not completely finished, I couldn't wait any further! In all seriousness when Carl asked me if I would feature the Acadian for October to celebrate 25 yea...

For September I wanted to feature a car that is unique and seldom seen by most of us. I was looking for a car that if spotted at a car show or cruise night, you couldn't help but get closer to get a better look. Cory Stulburg has a car that fulfills my wish. I can safely say I have never seen a Canadian built 1966...

One of the best things about forming Canadian Poncho is the amount of rare cars that have surfaced since we began. Kelly Coe's 65 Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe is one such beast. Yet despite it's rarity, Kelly wasn't afraid to do some upgrades that enhanced the driveability and appearance of the car....

Have you ever noticed that some cars look best kept stock and others look great with some tastefull modifications? In my humble opinion, the 67 Beaumont is one of those cars that look great stock or modified. Take Leo and Pat Levack's super straight '67 Beaumont SD. With it's jet black paint, custom w...

For quite some time I have wanted to feature a Canadian built Pontiac Sedan Delivery.

Having seen it in person I can attest that this is one b...

Not very often do you come across a Canadian 67 Pontiac 2+2. It's even more seldom you'd find one with a 396. Imagine finding one with a 4 speed. Now imagine finding a convertible with a big block and a 4 speed. You'd have a better chance finding a needle in a haystack. Well, Rick Hoinkes found that needl...
