Anyone know why there aren't Beaumonts and Acadians in the class guides?

They were considered export version in the GM product line.

Because Chevrolet and Pontiac sent in info. to NHRA for the class guides,
but, G.M. of Canada, which is it's own division, and is responsible for the
Chevrolet cross-overed vehicles, that were re-grilled, re-tailighted, and re-
badged as Pontiacs, did not submit info. for the class guides. J.R.

Wasn`t Ernie Penner`s old ride one of these? I remember seeing the red Pontiac arrowhead on the grill.

Ernies car was born an Acadian, but was converted into a nova.
