We all know how rare Canadian Pontiac sedan deliveries are. So, it would be quite a treat to feature one on Canadian Poncho. And it was certainly a treat to feature Doug McCurdy's 1957 Pontiac Sedan Delivery back in November 2009. Well, we are in for yet another treat for November 2011. Doug has just fin...

Mike Ross is the lucky owner of this month's feature car. His 1969 Pontiac 2+2 has to be one of only a very few true surviving examples having only travelled just over 34000 miles in 43 years. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling green with envy at Mike for owning this car! Mike tells us more about the 2+2: &quo...

I've waited patiently for over three years for our veteran member Carl Stevenson to finish his Acadian so that we could feature it. Although it's not completely finished, I couldn't wait any further! In all seriousness when Carl asked me if I would feature the Acadian for October to celebrate 25 yea...

For September I wanted to feature a car that is unique and seldom seen by most of us. I was looking for a car that if spotted at a car show or cruise night, you couldn't help but get closer to get a better look. Cory Stulburg has a car that fulfills my wish. I can safely say I have never seen a Canadian built 1966...

One of the best things about forming Canadian Poncho is the amount of rare cars that have surfaced since we began. Kelly Coe's 65 Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe is one such beast. Yet despite it's rarity, Kelly wasn't afraid to do some upgrades that enhanced the driveability and appearance of the car....

Have you ever noticed that some cars look best kept stock and others look great with some tastefull modifications? In my humble opinion, the 67 Beaumont is one of those cars that look great stock or modified. Take Leo and Pat Levack's super straight '67 Beaumont SD. With it's jet black paint, custom w...

For quite some time I have wanted to feature a Canadian built Pontiac Sedan Delivery. Since so few were made, I felt it would be quite a while before I'd find a nice one to show off on Canadian Poncho. Well along comes Doug McCurdy and his beautiful '57! Having seen it in person I can attest that this is one b...

Not very often do you come across a Canadian 67 Pontiac 2+2. It's even more seldom you'd find one with a 396. Imagine finding one with a 4 speed. Now imagine finding a convertible with a big block and a 4 speed. You'd have a better chance finding a needle in a haystack. Well, Rick Hoinkes found that needl...

This month's feature car belongs to a fellow who has been a member on Canadian Poncho for quite some time. His car I have seen several times in person and quite frankly I should have featured it a long time ago. I'm talking about Bob and Carol Crocker's gorgeous 1958 Pontiac Parisienne. To learn how B...

January for most of us means more cold weather. What better time to feature a convertible to help remind us that warmer days will come. Soon those lucky enough to own one will be able to put the top down and soak up the sun's warm rays. One lucky fellow is Dan Boyd. He is the proud owner of this gorgeous 1963 A...

This months feature car is one of my favorite Canadian Ponchos. Tony Mihaly's 1969 Pontiac Strato Chief has a lot going for it. Tony is the original owner, it has a successful racing history, low original mileage and is quite rare, being factory equipped with the 300hp 350 and a 4 speed transmission. I...

With October behind us we can pretty much say this is the end of cruising season for most of us. What better way to remember those past warm summer days than to feature a convertible. Brian Calderwood owns this fine 64 Acadian Beaumont Custom convertible. You would be hard pressed to find one as nice. P...

October 2010 Feature Car

We all have a love for the rare and high performance Canadian Poncho's. However, the reality is that back in the day most folks bought the generic bread and butter cars for their day to day transportation needs. Most of us have fond memories of such cars, the station wagons or four door sedans, many of wh...

As you may or may not know, many Canadian Pontiac models were shipped overseas in C.K.D form (Completeley Knocked Down) for assembly by local manufacturers. Many were shipped to Australia. Rod Crow owns this fine 1967 Parisienne. This right hand drive Poncho looks stunning in this colour combina...

The Lizon's were fortunate enough to meet the original owner of this great car and find out it's racing history. Here's some more information and great photos courtesy of Joe and Susie; 1965 L79...

In my quest to find a pre 1958 Canadian Pontiac to feature this month, I (and many members) felt it fitting to show off Dave LaCourse's 1956 Pathfinder work in progress. Although living in Florida, Dave has been a staunch supporter of this website and, of course, Canadian Pontiacs. So much so that it's...

Not all of us are lucky enough to own our first car and that's a shame. Most of our best memories are about our first rides. Ahh..the freedom! Roger Wirtz, on the other hand, is one of those guys fortunate enough to still have his first car. Not only that, his first car wasn't one of those disposable econo-...

Ah, the station wagon. Prior to Iacocca's Chrysler-saving mini-van the station wagon was the transportation of choice for large families. And why not? They were equally at home taking the kids and their gear to hockey practice, a trip to the lumber hard for a few sheets of 4x8 plywood , or hauling the w...
