The Chevy II based Acadian was also available as a Beaumont Sport Deluxe (that’s what SD stands for on later models).

A friend of mine used to have a 1962 Beaumont Sport Deluxe convertible which was all but Sporty or Deluxe! It had a Chevy inline 6.

Back in the sixties, the rare sight here was the GTO, not the Beaumont!
I don’t know why Canadian Pontiacs were built with Chevy powertrains and many other Chevy parts, as other GM cars like the A body Buick Skylark and even full size Buicks and Oldsmobiles that were built in the same plant had the same powertrains as the US models. There were still some differences like 12 bolt Chevy axles in Buick A bodies, different interior trim in some models like my ’65 Wildcat but the differences with the US models were still minor compared to the canadian Pontiacs…

This epitomizes the “Obscure”, a Canadian special that resmembles strongly a Chevelle, but wears different markings. I like this car a lot, and it definitely is a strong example
