I would like to add that decal to the Engine Nomenclature thread in the Library however my research shows the engine as installed in Acadians was call Econoflame.
Is Hi- Thrift the Chevy name ? If not can someone provided documentation to show Hi- Thrift as an Acadian name then I will update the thread in the Library.

This just goes to show you how valuable this site is.
A post that is almost 10 years old provided me with information that I needed today.

An older friend lived on a farm in Freelton with his elderly parents. The parents had a pair of clean & pretty 1966 Canadian GM cars. Mr. E had a Lemonwood Yellow Parisienne sport coupe with black vinyl top, V8 p/s, p/b Powerglide radio wheelcovers whitewalls. Mrs. E (who always won baking ribbons in the county fair) had a nice Marina Blue Beaumont Custom sport coupe with black vinyl top, 230 six p/s, p/b Powerglide radio wheelcovers whitewalls. Both owned since new and were creampuffs as they used to say. They bought them from HMP in Hamilton.
Anyway my point is, Mrs. E's '66 Beaumont 230 was original and untouched, and had the 230 Turbo Thrift decal, a Chevy item. I know they are supposed to say 230 Econoflame, but bear in mind these cars were rolling serially down the same line in Oshawa with Chevelles & F85s. Engines were from a batch that merely had engine plant, date & 2-letter application code. They didn't even stamp the serial #s on them at that point. The Olds-bound engines, I think they were supposed to be gold but who knows? Actually in '66 the Olds Cutlass used the bigger Chevy 250 so they would have had a unique code. McKinnon engines still used unique funny engine codes as late as 1966.
