When I saw this from a distance, I was sure it was a '68 Nova. But no, it turned out to be an Acadian. We (car guys of my vintage) used to think of the Acadian/Beaumont cars as "Canadian Pontiacs". Wiki says that certain Chevy models were rebadged as Acadians to give Pontiac dealers a small car to sell. I've seen a lot more Chevelle-based Beaumonts than Nova-based Acadians over the years.
Wiki says that the Chevy II/Nova-based Acadian was never offered with a big-block engine, so either Wiki is wrong, or someone's done a transplant. 396 indeed!
My interior shot through the glass didn't turn out, but the centre console was magnificent, with what looked like factory analogue gauges. The transmission selector on the console looked to be non-standard, showing "D-3-2-1", implying a 4-speed automatic, which GM didn't go to until a long time after 1968.
Anyway, if anyone can add anything, have at it!
