Rides nice and quiet, you could easily drive this car back home any were in the country. Original Acadian Radio. I have the Letter from GM of Canada that documents the options on this car and the Protect-o-Plate. It is a must see. You will not be disappointed. Everywhere I go in this car I am mobbed by people who want to talk about it. It has some great differences from an ordinary Nova. The Tail lights look like they are from Olds, the front looks like Pontiac and the 4 portholes on the fender are classic Buick. Best of all underneath it is still a Chevy. The headliner and carpet are original and show some wear. The engine bay is very clean and correct. I always display it with the hood open. It comes with the original 14 inch rally wheels. If you are looking for something unique, than this is it. New 3 inch exhaust recent front end replacement. Less than 5000 miles on rebuilt motor and trans. new breaks and new 17 inch wheels and tires. Ready to Cruse.

The Acadian was introduced so that Canadian Pontiac-Buick dealers would have a compact model to sell, since the Pontiac Tempest was not available in Canada. Plans originally called for the Acadian to be based on the Chevrolet Corvair, which was produced at GM's Oshawa plant; however, the concept was moved to the Chevy II platform to be introduced for 1962. Initially, Acadians were retrimmed Chevy IIs, offered as a base model, mid-priced Invader and top-line Beaumont. The front cover of the original 1962 owners manual shows a 4-door 4-cylinder Invader sedan, and was suitable for both English and French language editions. As with the Chevy IIs of that era, Acadians were offered with 4, 6, and 8 cylinder engines and sported two choices of transmission, a 3-speed manual gearbox or the 2-speed Powerglide automatic. In 1964 and 1965, the Beaumont name was moved to a retrimmed version of the contemporary Chevrolet Chevelle, at which time the name Canso took over as the top-line Acadian. For 1966 and 1967, the Acadian Canso featured a Sport Deluxe option similar to Chevrolet's SS option package. The '66 Acadian brochure cover above shows a Canso Sport Deluxe finished in Aztec Bronze. From 1966 to 1969, the Beaumont continued, but as a stand-alone marque. Both Acadians and Beaumonts were sold by Pontiac dealers, but they were considered as separate makes, not Pontiac models. Acadian Beaumonts were also made in Arica, Chile. 1966-69 Beaumonts continued to use the Chevrolet Chevelle body with minor styling revisions, including different taillights and a Pontiac-style split grille. The interior used the dash panel from the (U.S.) Pontiac Tempest/LeMans/GTO series. All Acadians and Beaumonts used Chevrolet powerplants. During the late '60s, the Beaumont was also available in Puerto Rico. There was actually a Beaumont Cafeteria that was co-located with the local Beaumont dealer in San Juan. The Acadian continued using the Chevy II/Nova body through mid-1971, after which it was replaced by the Pontiac Ventura II. From 1976 to 1987, the Pontiac Acadian was a version of the Chevrolet Chevette sold by Canadian Pontiac-Buick dealers.
