Acadian
Acadian was a make of automobile produced by General Motors
of Canada from 1962 to 1971. The Acadian was introduced so that
Canadian Pontiac-Buick dealers would have a compact model to sell.
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.

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
