So what's his problem with beige interior, blue car?

As far as that 58 comment goes, that is just sad to see someone so uninformed. A good portion of the US has rustier cars than a lot of Canada because of their warm, moist climate. What better climate to kill a car than that?

Maybe he's a Cordoba/Ricardo Montalban fan!!! If it ain't rich Corinthian leather, it ain't nuttin'.

That's the comment, who knows. He asks if it was changed from some other colour I've never heard of.

Wasn't your car originally another colour?  Maybe he would like that combo better?

Now you know why I created this site. I can't understand why people get upset with a Canadian Pontiac with Chevy motor but they are ok with later Trans Ams and GTO's with "corporate" small blocks!

Unfortunately there will always be people out there with their prejudices, it just goes to show how closed minded they are.  Real auto enthusiasts should be as open minded as possible, and enjoy and appreciate the unique and unusual, as most of our cars are with their relative scarcity.  I mean we could act rather aloof, as a lot of our cars, especially the 427/454 B bodies, are usually one of 20 or less made with that combo, but no one acts all haughty about that on here, but there are a lot of sites where people act like they are some kind of royalty if they have a car that is that rare.  I like the "aw shucks" attitude around here as well. 

As to the 58 Laurentian comment, if you substituted "New York" or "Michigan" in place of "Canadian", would anyone regard it as a slight then?  I think he's just typically worried about the problem areas that usually manifest themselves on any northern car, but if the dufus actually read the listing he would have seen that the car has spent most of its life in Florida, so it wouldn't really make any difference where its origin was from.

Well, let me be the first to suck up to the boss and say "I like the yellow/green combo on your car"!

Congrats ! I like your steering wheel (and the rest of the car of course !) I find some of these americans tend to stick to their own breed or clicks, sometimes it's hard to get an answer to my questions on the forum Performance years, I also belong to. Pascal

I don't care what people say anymore! Either from the States or from Canada, aslong as its a classic car, I like it, anything could be worked on.

I get the same remarks too, about my green interior, everything is green inside as well seats, carpet, dash, door panels, etc and my car is black with black vinyl roof. Meanwhile I have a classic car and they don't

But again everyone has their opinions, I remember talking to 4 different people in the same profession about the first car I bought. 2 guys said get rid of the car its a canadian rust bucket. The other 2 guys said its not in that bad of shape, don't listen to anyone, anything can be fixed, if you like the car keep it, and work with it, little by little.

Dumping on someone's car is more a reflection on the person dumping than it is on the car.

Just like nit picking at car shows... there is always something someone doesn't like but it doesn't need to be said loud enough for all to hear.
