Never seen one of those before. The 1:1 car I mean, Pontiac sold entirely different cars in Canada back then. I like it. Nice job on the model by the way!

I think he probably means Indy March 86C like in Bobby Rahal's '86 Indy 500 winner.

Rear suspension is wrong. I doubt I’ll worry about correcting it on this build. It’s just something for fun. Not building Al’s car or Bobby’s. It is in the process of becoming Kevin Cogan’s 7/11 car from 1986.

Canadian Pontiacs: Parisienne = Catalina but with a 283 or 327 Chevy motor Laurentian= one model down with 250 or 283 Chevy Strato Chief = base piece of junk, 6 only Acadian = Chevelle with a different grill, later a Chevette with a different grill
Beaumont = hopped up Acadian, up to 396 Chevy Le Mans = Le Mans with a 327 GTO = same as US, usually a 389 Firebirds = 326 OHC Pontiacs, 327, 305, 350 Chevys, 400, 455 Pontiacs, 403 Oldsmobile
I had a 65 Parisienne Custom Sport (327, bucket seats), and an 81 Firebird Formula (403 Oldsmobile), both nice cars for the era. Loved the Firebird.

Now that’s some excellent information! Like I said, I had no idea. That Parisienne sounds really sweet. But who could beat an 81 firebird with the big block of small blocks? A glorious machine

Just for fun.
I owned either this car, or it's identical twin, back in 1970. Either way, somebody did a fabulous restoration of it:
