Just for grins, and to further confuse car show goers down here, I was thinking of having a fake 1964 Ontario front license plate made (Florida state only uses a rear plate):

(not my car, I don't have a dead-on front end photo handy, but it is a 64 Beaumont)

What do you think?

When I've shown my car in the states I've heard all these... Canadian GTO, Canadian Chevelle, and even..."must be some sort of dodge product"....???? There was a Beaumont around here in the mid 80s that had GTO on the grille, gto marker lights etc... My vote is to keep it to Beaumont, it's confusing enough as it is! :)

Change the plate to NOT A GTO and you will have it covered.

Preserve the unique heritage by not calling it a Canadian GTO.
