4SPEED427 · A Poncho Legend!

My Acadian was born 4/22/65 and shipped 4/27/65. (Love that, 427 65!!!)

It was shipped to Winnipeg Motor products and purchased by Mrs ***** Kroft on 5/11/65. She made them remove the factory installed power brakes and factory installed power steering. I have the documentation for this, showing they were installed onto a 65 Canso 6 cyl 2 door hardtop serial # 4207, about 100 cars after mine. She also had them install red floor mats for $45.00 (this car is white with a black interior!) and a mirror on the drivers door for $6. Total for the car was $3366.

She owned it until 10/3/86 when I purchased it, about 21 years and 5 months. I have now owned it about 21 years and 5 1/2 months, making me the longest owner!

Oh, she said that the last few years she had this car it seemed to have a note under the wiper from someone wanting to buy it every time she left it parked somewhere!

Oh, and one more thing. She said the same thing about the car she traded in on the Acadian. It was a 55 Chevy 2 door hardtop!!!

As usual, my story is the most long winded of all of them................ And this is the short version to boot!

My 62 was Oshawa built, sold in Willowdale and spent it's 1st 25 years in Wasaga Beach........A friend bought it from them, and I rescued it from him. in 1989.............Still have the chrome badge that the dealer put on the back.

It's not a Beaumont but mine was built March 9, 1973 in Oshawa, Sold by Rumble in Leaside (Bayview & Eglinton in Toronto) on March 19, 1973. GM Canada documented as one of 3,761 built. It had two owners from 1973 to 1989 who lived on same street in Willowdale. Split time by next owner between Barrie and Parry Sound until 2004 then to me and back home to Leaside area. Dealer plate still on trunk lid.

Hammer 396,
Did you see the 67 SD396 picture I posted in "Beaumonts past and present"?
It's a red car, picture taken off of the Saskatoon Internatinal Raceway photo archives, lates 60's I'd guess.
