1966 Acadian Canso Sport Deluxe :
- model # 71837
- body # 800544
- paint  Y  Lemon wood Yellow
- trim  054  black
- 552 made in 66'
- 321 of those were V8 cars
From what I was told, this Acadian spent most of its life around Stettler, Alberta.
A few weeks ago I was in Stettler picking up a 55' Chev car and lo and behold there sitting in front of the shop was this 66'. Well I have wanted one of these since I left the womb . Actually I wanted a 56' Chevy shortbox but this will do. Anyway to make a long story short the shop owner decided to part with the Acadian and I had to have it  so I sold off one of the children and now the little jem sits in my garage and won't be leaving any time soon.  This is just the beginning of the story, stay tuned.

P.S.   Kris, feel free to call anytime. When you get older you'll understand,
Daddy really had to have this car OK. See you at christmas, mommy says hi.

Ditto from here! 

Rare car, a V8 SD. Looks to be a very early body number too. Do you have the numbers from the top right side of the cowl tag?  i.e. _-__-__

As a matter of fact it was Rory Christiansen , the owner of Passion Customs that I got the Acadian from. Rory said they used to tear up the streets pretty good with this car.
