I only know of 2 third gen 'Birds in town, some grey one, and a '61 I see basically daily as it lives in the next subdivision over from our 'hood. Always left outside tryina sell for $15,000; but was left in the snow out on his front lawn for two years, and in 2021 got a flame job- it looked way cool just black.

Some Meteors in town; 1954 Niagara, 1955, and 1958 (one of the most swingin' four-door 50s cars I've ever seen; nice set of Cragars). Have yet to see a Monarch though.

Was able to tidy up my grandma's garage yesterday and today; always a good thing to do

That's really interesting; I came across a '61 Thunderbird kit but never would've thought it came with all the concept ideas. I'll definitely have to pick one up next time I see one.

Matlock's the lawyer

There's a really nice '67 in town. They sure are special cars.

Not entirely sure, but I know in 1970 the Beaumont/Acadian lines were pulled because the GTO/LeMans were beginning production in Canada, so I believe they were not available in Canada at the same time as the Beaumont.

Here's a really interesting package for the 1967 Beaumont, the "Cheetah" of which on 10 were built. Very similar to a Yenko Chevelle. I actually first heard of the Beaumont Cheetah in a September 2020 issue of CarToons Magazine and it turns out it is a real car. 1967 Pontiac Beaumont-Canadian Cars Got 427 Conversions Too (motortrend.com)

I was totally thinking the same thing; when I inherit the set it will definitely become my new model car building table.

Here's a neat idea; what if the '61-63 'Birds had an opening on the roof which popped up when the door was opened

They are definitely interesting cars as they have a split Pontiac style grille, and Pontiac interior. Also sold out of Pontiac dealers in Canada. But the Beaumont is a Chevy Chevelle, and the Acadian is a Nova. Just fun facelifts and different badging.

Similar thing goin’ on with the neighbours at my grandma’s house. Definitely not as bad compared to your story, but usually they just blare music really loud pretty frequently throughout the day and apparently night. They have garbage littered around the side of their garage which is thankfully guarded by a row of tall pine trees on our side of the property. A little earlier in the month the police were there doing a full scale investigation as the people are part of some missing person conspiracy. Also there are like five cats that they just let run and so they were using the open shed as a litter box since the base is just gravel so I had to basically rebuild the shack with doors and now it is an impenetrable fortress. But still the music plays but it’s one of those gadgets with a loud bass, so from in her house it’s like a booming sound and gets annoying. My grandma doesn’t want to do anything because they actually saved her house from burning down last year. But that was the only good about them.

What I found interesting about it was the mix of '50s Art Deco and '60s Psychedelic paisleys; and it turns out this set may have been a re-issue of an original '50s set, but adding the cool patterns made it more late '60s early '70s. By far the coolest piece of furniture I've seen.

Here's a catchy theme song for the Beaumont; taken from a CBC Telecast back in the day Pontiac Beaumont 1969 Commercial.mp4

I actually had the pleasure to see a 1968 Beaumont SD (Special Deluxe) 396 in person at a local car show in 2023; I took the photo with a '90s film camera so the quality isn't the greatest.

'64 may have had a fastback, too.

What would've been cool to actually see was the 1963 Thunderbird "Italien" concept fastback. Really gorgeous car.

Here in Sault Ontario, Michaels has absoultely no trace of kits or supplies. They used to have a whole isle dedicated to model cars, and then they got pushed to one shelf on the back wall, and now there's like puzzles and stuff. Kinda unfortunate, but being a border town, usually just get across the bridge to Sault Michigan and into Hobby Lobby, or farther down to St. Ignace where there's a real neat model car shop, and one in downtown Traverse city.

Really like the colour; definitely has potential. Or clear coat it and save the patina. Either way such a good looker

I actually like it; it looks cool. What do you guys think

There was even a running/driving prototype for 1961, but it never went into production
