 I know it's not a Poncho, but unique Canadian cars always interest me.

Good link. Another Canadian car I've always liked was the Frontenac. I thought a little 2 door sedan would be cool.

Carl, Thanks for posting pic's of that. It's pretty cool. I had a pale green 4 door when I was19.
 It was from Saskachewan, so it wasn't totally rusted out. Loved the flathead for it's unique sound and low end grunt. Amazing how quiet they were.

i've got a set of frontenac dog dishes on the wall in the garage... at first i thought maybe they were a generic aftermarket cap until i saw them on an orig. frontenac...
