I’d argue that the Oldsmobile Toronado 67X is the most Canadian car ever.

3rd prize: The Bricklin SV-1.

Heard aboot the 67x on the CBC eh, I think 3 of the 4 are accounted for. One of those beauties is waiting fo you to discover it.

Long, cold winters...I totally get it. I live where the weather is pleasant and I still drink enough to find the car intriguing.

I’m annoyed by the Canadian pronunciation of that guy’s name from 2500 miles and 50 years away.

Probably pronounced Abooo, but I saw the potential chuckle.

By his mother, maybe. You know damn well every Canadian west of Ottawa would pronounce that “Jock Aboot.”

West of Ottawa but east of thunder bay, Out west we speak gooder, and can hear the “A-BOOT” accent. it’s more subtle than that, more like “a-beauwt” but with more vowels. We Pronounce Saskatchewan as a conjoined single syllable
