March 2019 Feature Car
(Preview)
It seems we don't see too many 68-71 Acadian's and it's always a treat to be able to feature one on Canadian Poncho. After going through some hard times Ken Perry's luck finally changed and he was able to treat himself to this sharp 1970 Acadian. Ken has been treating the car to some much needed love and is...

June 2018 Feature Car
(

)
(Preview)
Our June feature car is owned by a fellow I've known for several years. While David Saint-Pierre usually owned "Forward Look" era Mopars (1957-61) this 1959 Pontiac Parisienne caught his eye and I think it's safe to say he is hooked on this Poncho. Rescued from years of poor storage, Dave put quite a bi...

June 2008 Feature Car
(Preview)
I felt it was time to profile an early Canadian Poncho and feel Al Taylor's '55 Laurentian is the epitome of what those of you who were lucky enough to be alive in the 50's would have seen in many Canadian driveways. Not only is Al's Laurentian beautiful to look at, it has the reliability to go the distance...

February 2019 Feature Car

Our February feature car is a body style rarely seen on a Beaumont. Ken Yakemek owns this fine 1966 Beaumont Custom four door hardtop. Ken just recently purchased this car and is still in "investigative mode". He was kind enough to bring the Beaumont out into the frigid cold and take these great photos...

January 2019 Feature Car

Happy New Year! It's hard to believe another year has come and gone. Let's begin 2019 with a Poncho that has been in the same family since new. Danny Lavoie is the proud owner of this 1969 Pontiac Parisienne. Danny's father bought it new and Danny inherited it when his mother passed away. He has continue...

November 2018 Feature Car

It's safe to say most of our favorite Poncho's are the ones with big block power and a four speed transmission. Since production of this powertrain combo was scant, only a few of us get to experience owning one. Kevin Montero is one of these lucky fellows. He owns this super rare 1966 Pontiac Grande Pari...

December 2018 Feature Car

(Preview)
Our December feature car is one that I've been asking myself "Why didn't we feature this one long before now?". Don MacKinnon owns this sinister looking 1963 Pontiac Parisienne. Thanks to Don this Poncho went from being an original humble 283 car to the nasty 409 beast you see here. Without further ad...

Can you believe it? It's already December! We've had a great bunch of feature cars this year and I can think of no better way to complete the 2016 than to feature Tom Allen's stunning 1966 Pontiac Grande Parisienne. This black on red poncho really stands out head and shoulders above the crowd. What's no...

Our October feature car is one of those "When did you last see one?" Ponchos. Mike Roth is the lucky owner of this super rare 1958 Pontiac Pathfinder Safari two door wagon. Mike accidentally stumbled onto this Pathfinder thanks to his job as a real estate agent. Other than a good clean up and a bit of inte...

Our September feature car is one many of us couldn't wait to see at the top of the screen. Mike and Allison Farrugia own this beautiful 1964 Pontiac Parisienne Safari. As most of us know, this wagon wasn't always this nice. In fact it had one "tire" in the grave. With help from friends, Mike and Allison tr...

For July we are featuring something a little different. In fact, I believe this is the first time (ed: second time) we've featured a Canadian Poncho race car! Brent Fulmek has owned this 1965 Acadian for 36 years! What started out as just a shell has been transformed into this terror you see here. Brent...

May 2018 Feature Car

For May I am happy to feature James Russell's beautiful 1966 Acadian Canso. James and his dad Jim took what was meant to be a parts car and transformed it into a reliable daily driver that James can be truly proud of.

Some of you are lucky enough to have convertibles and before you know it top down weather will be here. One lucky convertible owner is CP Member 1965CS (St...

If you have never seen an example of this month's feature car in person it's not surprising! I'm sure it's safe to say that the majority of our membership hasn't seen a 1967 Beaumont station wagon given the extremely low production of this car. How many survive? Michael Aeberhardt's owns this beautif...

It's my pleasure to feature Mike Ward's 1966 Beaumont Sport Deluxe this month. Mike is part of the "Manitoba Gang", a great bunch of guys who's blood runs Poncho red!

There's no better month than July for owning a convertible. And there's nothing better than a cruise with the top down on a warm summer night. What better way to experience this than with a convertible like this month's feature car. Randy Bilton is the proud owner of this 1969 Parisienne convertible....

We've all seen those classified old car ads. They are the ones with little or no description and terrible photos. If you are like me, you usually skip over them in search of cars for sale with better photos and more detailed descriptions. Andre Saulnier is not like me. He saw an ad for an old blue station w...

It seems pretty apparent that 1966 is a popular year for our members when it comes to Canadian built Pontiac's. It's not really surprising given the clean, well proportioned styling the Pontiac's had that year. We have seen a lot of great examples of 66's here over the years. One great sixty-six that m...
