All SD cars are Cansos, yes. For all years of Acadian, the SD was a Canso SD.

I am guessing that Fred (68SD) does it that way in the registry because possibly some people are ok with their car listed there but don't like to have someone know they are the owner.

Sport Deluxe

During the muscle car craze in the late 1960s, Chevelle offered the Super Sport and SS396 models that offered high performance, bucket seats, and sport stripes. In Canada, Pontiac Beaumont offered an equivalent model, the Sport Deluxe, or SD. For 1966, the Sport Deluxe was combined with the Chevrolet 396 cubic-inch Mark IV big-block V8, along with the same bucket seats/console package as the Chevelle SS396, along with unique sport stripes, trim, and SD396 emblems. Many collectors consider the Pontiac Beaumont SD396 even more desirable than the Chevelle SS396, since it is far more rare. Many Acadians and Beaumonts succumbed to rough Canadian winters, suffering from rust and mechanical wear and tear, leaving very few original specimens left, in addition to the fact that production was much lower than equivalent Chevy models.

An equivalent "Pontiac" Acadian, the Canso Sport Deluxe, offered as similar package equivalent to the Chevy II Super Sport, which included the same Strato-bucket seats, console, floor shift, along with unique SD trim and emblems. Top performance option for the Canso SD was Chevrolet's 350-bhp 327 cubic-inch L79 small-block V8, along with a four-speed manual, or Powerglide automatic transmission.

During the late 1960s, the Pontiac Beaumont was also available in Puerto Rico. There was actually a Beaumont Cafeteria that was co-located with the local Pontiac Beaumont dealer in San Juan.

The Pontiac Acadian continued using the Chevy II/Nova body through mid-1971, after which it was replaced by the Pontiac Ventura II.

Hmm, I have to take back what I said.

I have to say though, that is not popular opinion south of the border from what I've seen. We agree with them, that's for sure!
