Only in Canada. Oshawa built Pontiacs got chev engines. The guy has all the Canadian docs for it.

More Canadian oddballs. Lots of Beaumonts there. To me, they look better than chevelles and novas. I had a 64 Acadian SD Looked so much better than the nova

Love love LOVE Orbit Orange Judges! Beaumonts are so weird (from an American point of view), Pontiac dashes and split grills on a Chevelle. Still really cool. Great pictures.

Better shot of the 57 for the colour. The way Olds designed the side window drip cover , or whatever it’s called, is really something..all done with cables and springs to automatically flip up when you cracked the door open to allow the glass to clear it….cool old technology

wished I took a video of it.

Very cool trophy and nice cars. My ex BIL had a 68 Pontiac Beaumont. He bought it for $2000 in 1990 in not bad shape. Sold it, the new owner did a frame off. My ex BIL offered him 10K, he just laughed at him. Redone in the gorgeous maroon colour. As Dale said, a factory sbc 350 car. Just like the regular Cutlass in the car 80's, all Canadian built Pontiac's for our market were factory chebby powered.

The trophy is an actual LS Gen V rod and piston with rings. That’s one one the engines built there.

In the past they’ve had a chassis Dyno at the show for anyone who wants to get on it…😎

of course we all did
