A Frontenac, eh?
This was our first computer free vehicle. Bought it in 09 for something simple for my kids and myself to learn about systems - and cars seem like good systems. Frontenacs have the additional benefit of having been made for the Canadian market with the addition of nine maple leaves to the car. Otherwise it is a Falcon. I'll add photos of the maple leaves, dash, trunk and engine (144 cubic inches of raw straight six muscle). I thought it would be fun to drive in the Canada Day parade.
