I still have quite a bit of Canadian Poncho swag. Sales are down to a trickle. For example, I still have 164 window decals and 58 key chains. I felt I ordered a conservative amount of these items way back in September based on the membership we had at the time. With over 900 members you'd think I'd have been sold out of this stuff long ago. All proceeds have been used to keep the domain name, buy business cards which a lot of us have been handing out at shows all over the country to spread the word and expand the wealth of knowledge we have on these fantastic cars (the latest card order alone was $74), and to pay down the roughly $3000 I borrowed to get the site up and running (the CP logo was $500) and to purchase the swag. I still owe $750. I also have my third PST payment due early next month. To those of you who have supported the site by purchasing items, a hearty THANK YOU! And to those of you who have purchased items already, please refrain from buying any more of the same. The last time I posted about slow sales it seemed the same people bought more items.
Remember, the window decals are only 5 bucks which includes shipping. Isn't having access to (in my humble opinion) the best Canadian Pontiac, Acadian, Beaumont website worth 5 bucks? And to sweeten the deal, I'll include shipping in the price (Canada only) for the Keychains. I'd really like to move these and the decals. T-shirt sales have been pretty good as were the mugs. Supplies of these items aren't as great as the decals and key chains.
Here's whats available:
T-shirts:
Small - 2 Med - 3 Lg - 12 XL - 2 2XL - -SOLD OUT
Mugs - SOLD OUT
If I sell out of these items I can then start planning calendars for next year featuring members cars and perhaps get on to GM's licensing program so that we can offer items featuring actual models (eg: Beaumont specific items, etc) .
We've seen the awareness (and acceptance) of our cars grow by leaps and bounds in a very short time. Only with your support can we take it to the next level. It is my goal to make our cars just as desirable, valuable and have the same unique parts availability as their American cousins.
Thanks. Todd

Hey Todd, Calendars would be a great idea. I've always thought it would be great to be able to get my hands on a yearly calendar that was exclusively Pontiac....even more special, with Canadian Pontiac's in it. I'd buy at least 2.
OK, Ididn't get a mug or keychain. I'm thinkin I better get them before they're sold out. PM me with the costs including shipping and I'll get a Money Order to ya... Ken

Me three! I think it would look great on anything black, a T shirt, hat, jacket. Looks like it came straight off a stubby, how can you get more Canadian than that?!
