Launch Year and Catchy Tagline
The Acadian first appeared in 1963, promoted with the memorable advertising slogan “Fresh, Frisky, Functional,” as shown in the 1963 Acadian brochure and ad.
One‑Year‑Only Design Details (1965)
The 1965 Acadian featured a unique grill that was offered for only that model year, along with two hood bars, specific bumpers, and body moldings that set it apart from other Canadian Pontiacs.
End of Production and Parts Rarity
Beaumont’s Canadian production line, which built the Acadian, ceased in June 1969, after which the Oshawa, Ontario factory switched to producing other Pontiac models. Because many components were exclusive to the Acadian, they are considered hard to find, prompting specialist suppliers like C2C Fabrication and OER to offer rust‑repair panels and a wide selection of interior and exterior parts.
