2- The name is "Acadian"

3- The car reverenced was not a Chevy II it was just that a chevette. Just a small car.

4- From around 64 to the 70's sometime there were two models of Acadian's as I recall. One was the Acadian Beaumont which was sold up here by Pontiac dealers. It was bascially a Chevelle with different grills. Sort of a cross between the Chevelle and the GTO in appearence but still a chevelle. I had a 64 beaumont then a 65 Chevelle. Both HT's 283's with 4 speeds and LOUD pipes. Fun in those days.
5- The Chevey II's Pontiac brother was called just the Acadian. After marriage sold my 69 Ford Fairlane Cobra with 428 ram air. Managed a drag strip on the Island then so I put it thru the lights a lot. Best was a 13.02 at 101 mph with stock polyester tires they had in those days, for a 67 Acadian HT with 283 auto. It was the same as the Chevey II. On this one it was just grill changes. Sold by Pontiac but all with chev power.
