That HEMI in the ad above the Acadian sounds interesting...

My friend Peter Lerette, in Sackville N.B. sent me a copy of a  GM report on  a  1969 Acadian SS car..   THE GM guru says, on the print out, its a Pontiac Acadian.. I wonder if this was a clerical error?   I guess that why the dude in Detriot called it a Pontiac...

It's interesting that the 69 Acadian was built in Willow Run, MI and exported to Canada.

Indeed, no Novas in Oshawa in 69 or 70?

Just 69 and 70 I'd say when Oshawa or St. Therese did not run Novas. Just an educated quess.

Acadians were built in Willow Run Mi from '68-'71. The last canadian built Acadian was made in Oshawa in '67. There's a lot of information about the Acadian/Beaumont line in the Acadian/Ventura section of this site. For the record, Acadian was it's own brand. I think the fact Pontiac introduced the "Pontiac Acadian" in the late '70's leeds to a lot of confusion. Lets face it though, if they were Pontiacs, it would say so on the manuals, steering wheel, door panels, hood grille.....SOMEPLACE ON THE CAR!!!
