Acadian is basically just a nova clone that was only avalable in canada. The only differences between them and the nova is exterior and interior trim they use chev engines too btw

Redneck is right.Lots of the Canadian Pontiacs from the 40's to the '70's were different in Canada. They were made here, and used Chevy engines and different names, (like Laurentian and Parisienne) Sometimes, lots of the body panels were different. The 1958 Canadian Pontiacs looked just like the American ones, but a lot of the body panels were different.
Some Pontiac models, like the Tempest/GTO and Firebird were imported from the States with the familiar Pontiac engines in them.

Finally what WERE the Acadians? They were early Canadian settlers from Europe living on the east coast. Calling a car an Acadian is like naming a car the Pontiac Pilgrim.
