You are all in for a real treat this month. Bob and Carol Crocker's 1966 Pontiac Parisienne Custom Sport has to be one of (if not THE) nicest unrestored examples in existence! I had the pleasure of viewing this car in person a few weeks ago and I have to say I was blown away by it's condition. It felt like I w...

Our September feature car is the result of a lot of hard work and ingenuity. Chris Pointon is the man behind the transformation of this '66 Acadian Canso SD into the incredible car you see here. This Acadian has just enough modified components to enhance the driveability and look of the car without sac...

You don't see many 1970 Acadians these days. Those you do see are usually have 4 doors and 6 cylinder engines and most have been attacked by the tin worm. Well, we have a treat for you this month. Ray Friesen's 1970 Acadian owns this solid example. Not only is it a 2 door, it's also a factory SS 4 speed car! Ra...

Our April feature car is one that I'm sure is well known to most of our members. Terry Knutson's super rare 68 Beaumont SD396 Convertible is now in better than new condition. To say it was resurrected from the dead is a major understatement. Terry gives us the rundown: I think most members followed the...

It's been a while since we've featured an early 60's Canadian Pontiac. What better way to kick off the cruising season than with Brian Parkin's beautiful 1964 Parisienne Custom Sport? Brian's Pontiac looks almost like the one he bought new in 1964. While it may not have a 409 like his original, this Cu...

This month I'm happy to feature a 68 Beaumont owned by one of our most enthusiastic members, Kevin Busch (lueger68). Kevin's enthusiasm is understandably unbridled when it comes to his super clean 68 Beaumont. Kevin is not afraid of putting lots of miles on his car during the Summer months and is a reg...

Lawrence Morgan is one lucky guy. Why? He's the owner of this fantastic (and rare) 1967 Acadian Canso Sport Deluxe. This super clean Acadian has all the right bits to make me proud to feature it this month. Lawrence gives us the scoop: We bought our car out of Vernon BC from an old friend, that had had it fo...

Our Feburary feature car belongs to Mike Homer. Mike's 1957 Pontiac Safari is a true survivor. It is almost impossible to find a Canadian built Pontiac still sporting it's original paint and interior. Mike's Safari has both. Mike tells us a little more about his awesome wagon: Here are a few pics of my...

It is my pleasure to feature two very interesting 1960 Pontiac Laurentians this month. Both cars are right hand drive as they were sold new in New Zealand. Gayne is the owner of these two Lauarentians and they both lead a charmed life as wedding cars. Gayne's son Logan fills in the details:Gaynes 1960 P...

It's hard to believe that this month's feature car was destined for the crusher. Luckily Kevin Casey rescued this 1969 Beaumont Custom from certain death and transformed it into this spectacular SD396 tribute. What's even more incredible is the transformation was done solely by Kevin in a single c...

Ahh, Spring is in the air. The best part of Spring is not seeing the flowers starting to grow and the birds return from their winter trip south. Oh no. It's seeing great old Canadian iron on the road again. And the epitome of great Canadian iron is Marty Chapman's awesome '66 Beaumont SD. With a healthy 32...

Although we recently featured a 61 Pontiac, after seeing Greg Bronson's 61 Parisienne Bubbletop at a local show recently I knew I had to feature it. Some of you may remember seeing this car when it was for sale in Swift Current, Sk. Gary purchased the car and has been upgrading it ever since. Gary swappe...

If you attend cruise nights or car shows, you're likely to always notice a crowd around a "survivor". A survivor can be best defined as a classic car that's not worn out, but simply well worn in. A survivor is absent of any real restoration work. Maintenance items such as brakes, batteries and tires hav...

I'm convinced Clint Scherger is the 1970 Canadian Pontiac's biggest fan. You'd be hard pressed to find anyone else with such a nice collection of full sized 1970 Canadian Pontiacs. One example in Clint's stable is this outstanding 2+2 convertible. This Poncho wasn't always as nice. Clint's has spe...

The year 2010 saw the untimely end of the Pontiac division of General Motors, a brand that had been around since 1926. 2010 was also the model year GM reintroduced the Chevrolet Camaro. The death of Pontiac also meant the demise of any chance GM would also reintroduce the Firebird. However this did not...

And now Jim will fill us in on th...

Then, a few weeks ago I took notice of Jerels avatar. In that avatar was a photo of his Beaumont. It was at that point I...

Our unique Canadian Poncho's are a rare site in the United States.

Peter lives in Klamath Falls, Oregon and owns this beautifu...

In my opinion it has "The Look" - the right colour both inside and out and those wheels are the perfect finishing touch. Here's more about this Beaumont from...
