Acadian (automobile) - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadian_(automobile)
Acadian is a
make of automobile which
was produced by General Motors of Canadafrom 1962 to 1971. The Acadian was introduced so
that Canadian Pontiac-Buickdealers would have a compact model to
sell, since the Pontiac Tempest was
unavailable 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. The brand was also offered in Chile, with models built in Arica. In order to promote automobile manufacturing in Canada , The Auto Pact (APTA)
in the 1960s had provisions prohibiting sales of certain United States-made
cars. General Motors responded by offering certain makes of cars manufactured
in Canada primarily for the Canadian market such as Acadian, and Beaumont which started as an offering in the Acadian line but later became its
own brand. Initially, Acadians
were retrimmed Chevy IIs, offered as a base
model, mid-priced Invader and top-line Beaumont . The car used Pontiac styling cues such as a
split grille but was marketed as a separate make, never as a Pontiac . As with the concurrent
Chevy II, Acadians were offered with 4-cylinder, 6-cylinder and V8 engines. There
was a choice of transmission, depending upon the model and engine installed, 3
and 4 speed manual gearboxes or the 2-speed Powerglide automatic. For 1964 and
1965, the Beaumont name was moved to a retrimmed version of the
intermediate Chevrolet Chevelle, at which time the name
Canso was applied to the top-line compact model, equivalent of the Nova. Invader became the series name for the base model.
Data for the 1966 Acadian were: engines available were six-cylinder (194 cid,
8.5 compression ratio, 120 bhp rated), V8 (283 cid, 9.25 compression
ratio, 195 bhp) or (327 cid, 11.00 compression ratio, 350 bhp rated),
overall length of 15.250 feet (4.648
m ); overall width of 5.942 ft (1.811
m ); height of 4.483 ft (1.367
m ); turning circle of 38.40 ft (11.70
m ); front track of 4.733 ft (1.443 m) and rear track of
4.692 ft (1.430 m ). Its fuel tank held
13.5 imperial gallons. From
1966 Beaumont was designated as a separate make, without the
Acadian name. 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 instrument
panel from the American Pontiac Tempest/LeMans/GTO
series. Drivetrains were the same as the contemporary Chevelle with the
exception of the 396 with 375 rated bhp, as were model offerings. The one
exception to Chevelle/Beaumont availability was a base-model Beaumont convertible. Such a
model was never available in the Chevelle line in the USA although it was in Canada . All Acadians and
Beaumonts used Chevrolet engines and drivelines. The Beaumont was discontinued after
1969, after which Canadian dealers sold the Pontiac LeMans. The Acadian continued
using the Chevy II/Nova body through mid-1971, after which it was replaced by
the Pontiac Ventura II. GM would not market another Canadian-exclusive brand until the
launch of Passport starting in the 1989 model year.
