Your '70 looks really nice. I like the 1st pic with the proper V8 badge and the lowered stance. The colour is nice, the clean simplicity is nice, plus it's an Acadian!
Thanks for the comments.
Top pic is after new suspension. Rides like it on rails now.
Bottom pick was on way home, in Minnesota. 47 year old
suspension.
Emblems on top are correct for 70 V8 Acadian.
Bottom call out are for daNova's .
Stuff like that makes this hobby fun. And you're right, the coffee breaks can be the best part sometimes.
I've never enjoyed the car hobby more than my time in it after this forum started. The group of old car guys I know has expanded so much because of this place.
I can't even imagine how hard it is to find Acadian door panel emblems.

Ray.
There is a bonifide 71 Acadian out here that I have seen. It has the Chevy call outs.
Too bad.
They just aren't as eye catching as the 70. Or the girl in the pass seat!!
Last week I had my Strato Chief out in the driveway, getting ready to go out on the highway and peel some rubber off... My next door neighbour the RCMP officer was just heading off to work his shift and saw me getting in to my car. I told him "I guess I won't head south on the highway" knowing he would be headed that way to the detachment he works out of. His reply was "No, you better go south, because you know it will be your neighbour out there!"
