This is almost Identical to a Chevy II Nova Convertible.
The Acadian was the Canadian equivalent of the Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova, sold through Pontiac-Buick dealerships in Canada from 1962 to 1971. It was developed by General Motors of Canada to provide its Pontiac-Buick dealers with a compact car to sell, as the U.S. Pontiac Tempest was not initially available in the Canadian market due to import tariffs.
Key characteristics of the Acadian:
Platform: It was a badge-engineered version of the Chevrolet Chevy II/Nova, sharing the same body and mechanical components.
Styling: The main differences were minor trim variations and unique badging, including a Pontiac-style split grille and an emblem featuring a Canadian maple leaf.
Drivetrain: Acadians used Chevrolet engines and drivetrains, including the four-cylinder, six-cylinder (renamed "Econoflame"), and various V8 engines.
Models: The Acadian came in several trim levels, including the base Invader, the mid-level Canso, and the top-tier Beaumont (which later became a separate, Chevelle-based marque).
Performance: The Acadian Canso Sport Deluxe (SD) was the Canadian equivalent of the Chevy II/Nova Super Sport, offering similar performance options.
In essence, an Acadian is nearly identical to a Chevy Nova, with the primary distinction being its Canadian origin and unique trim tailored for the Canadian market. These cars are now considered rare in the U.S. and sought after by collectors due to their limited production numbers.

LTC Stephen Conway I remember the Chevy Nova from the 70s. I was a teenager. Then in the 80s they were passed to teenagers as a first car. This is really cool history because I was not aware of the other facts.

LTC Stephen Conway back in the 70s this cute boy drove a white 2 door falcon. Us girls snickered at his car. I guess this shows how we were cackling hens, without a clue. Hahaha!

PO3 Phyllis Maynard The Falcon Sprint was a 260 V8 and later a 289 V8. If it had mags, a roll bar, 4 speed and dual exhaust, your High School Girls would not have laughed at him.

The Falcon Sprint was Ford’s small, sporty, V-8 powered precursor to the Mustang. This 347-packed street machine just turned 60, and it’s better than ever.
