Acadian Beaumont

Well there you go. You learn something every day.

I had no clue that GM offered a Canadian version of the Chevelle with a different nose. The Acadian Beaumont.

Very cool. The headlights and fenders and hood are very Chevelle, but the grill area reminds me a bit of a Pontiac from the era
