To all CP members, We all know that Todd has taken a ton of pride in being able to find a CP to feature at the beginning of each month. Remarkably, he's been able to pull through and find a car worthy continuously for near 12 years. And it can be a tough job, seemingly running right up to the deadline more time...

As you know, I put a member's car on the title screen every month. I thought I'd take it one step further, borrowing an idea from the Yenko.net site. Starting with the March feature, I'll post a brief article on the vehicle. Here's how to get your car featured on the site: Send me a PM requesting to have you...

March 2023 Feature Car
(Preview)
So few pre-war Canadian Pontiacs have survived. I suspect it's due to wartime scrapping and of course, the salt we use on most of our roads. It's always a treat to find an early Canadian built Pontiac to feature. Hans Boks owns this rare 1937 Pontiac Model 224. Left languishing in a field since around 19...

It's a rare treat to feature Canadian Pontiac's from the 1950's and earlier as so few remain. It's my pleaure to feature this survivor 1954 Pontaic Laurentian Sport Coupe. You won't be surprised that you likely haven't seen one before as so few were built in the first place. John La Grange owns this won...

Some of you may know about John Hall's love for American built 1969 Pontiac's. John (a.k.a "North") has a fantastic collection of '69's that covers just about every model Pontiac released in the US that year. What he didn't have was a Canadian built Pontiac. I think the first Canadian built '69 John ch...

Kevin Toohey is the lucky owner of our December Feature Car. It was well over a decade ago that I saw Kevin at the swap meet in Paris Ontario and he confided in me that he owned this 1965 Acadian Beaumont convertible. It's not just any Acadian Beaumont convertible. This is one of "less than 8" built wth the...

Our July feature car is one that we hope is still around. Dave Anderson owned this 1967 Beaumont Custom Sedan in 2006. Dave purchased this car to replace his Beaumont winter car (click here to read our feature on this Beaumont) but realized this one was too nice to subject to winter abuse. Instead, Dav...

Back in the day our cars didn't get a lot of love. In fact, twenty years ago it wasn't uncommon to cannibalize an Acadian, Beaumont or Canadian Pontiac to supply parts for a Nova, Chevelle or Impala. Some folks even converted Acadian's and Beaumonts to Chevy II's, Nova's or Chevelles! Isn't it about ti...
