1968 Pontiac Acadian(Canada's Version Of The Nova)

This is the car, I think it's Painted , Island Teal, Or Grotto Blue, This would be a great project to use the C.O.P.O Nova for. Model Car Garage has all of the correct emblems on the 1968-69 Photo Etch Set, I tried them on the Revell kits, And they fit better on that one then the old AMT kit, On to the photos.

Back when I made one of these about 7 years ago, I had a hard time finding the photos of the real thing, I noticed the wheels on the car are from the 71-72 style Novas, I'll be doing one of these in scale soon. The one I made out of the AMT kit got broke when I was moving. I personally like the grill and taillight panel emblems on this car, If this was an "SS" It would only have it in the grill, for 1968 and 1969,1970 Was the first year for the "SS" In the back also, Like the US Novas.

Also in 71 , Canada had the Acadian, Nova , And the Ventura II, But we had the Lemans from 1964-69, And the G.T.O. from those years also. Edited May 10, 2011 by spkgibson

Let's not forget about the best looking Canadian Pontiac, the Astre. This one's a '73, but the '71-'73s are all good looking.

My favorite Acadian:
