One thing for sure Chas....those cars you didn't recognize, are highly prized today by collectors...their rarity was as much due to low production, as it was to the salted roads, and salty air climate, especially in the Maritimes where I live.

On a quiet morning, when the wind was just right, you could hear your car rust in the driveway.

The Laurentian, and Strato-Chief were Canadian Pontiacs...built on a Chevrolet chassis and using Chev engines and transmissions.

The Beaumont was a Pontiac...something like a Chevelle.

There was even a Pontiac Parisienne...the top model.

The Meteor was based on the Ford.

The Frontenac was based on the Ford Falcon.

The Bricklin was designed and built by Canadian, Malcom Bricklin...based on AMC components, I believe.

The Canadian Dodge cars, especially 55-56, were actually Plymouths with Dodge front clips.
