Chevy II Super Sport, which included the same Strato-bucket seats, console, and floor shift, along with unique SD trim and emblems. Top performance option for any Acadian including the Canso SD was Chevrolet's 350-bhp 327 cid L79 small-block V8 (in 1966 only), along with a three- or four-speed manual transmission. During the late 1960s, the Beaumont was also available in Puerto Rico. A Beaumont Cafeteria actually was co-located with the local Beaumont dealer in San Juan. Pontiac Acadian (1976–1987) From 1976 to 1987, the Pontiac Acadian was a version of the Chevrolet Chevette sold by Canadian Pontiac-Buick dealers, initially identical to the Chevette except for badging, but picking up the distinctly "Pontiac" design cues of the U.S. market Pontiac T1000 after that model's 1981 introduction. As well, Canadian Pontiac dealers received the T1000 model (which was the name of the U.S. T-car) in 1981. In 1983, the car was simply renamed 1000, until its end in 1985 in Canada. So, for 5 years, Pontiac Canada had two versions of the T-car to sell: the Acadian, and the T1000 / or 1000. Canada lost the 1000 after 1985, but it carried on until 1987 in the U.S. References External links The Acadian and its Chilean production on Tuerca.cl Chilean Acadian fansite Cars of Canada General Motors marques Cars introduced in 1962 Vehicle manufacturing companies established in 1962 Vehicle manufacturing companies disestablished in 1971 General Motors vehicles 1962 establishments in Ontario 1971 disestablishments in Ontario Canadian companies established in 1962 Canadian companies disestablished in 1971
