Maybe it's the compacts were called the Canso?

How about the full-sizes called the Laurentian? Another cool Canadian model
Here’s a wiki on the Acadians and Beaumont’s.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acadian_(automobile)

Some of those full size Laurentians were produced with some different drivetrains. There was a 4 door Laurention my buddy in high school drove that had a 396 2 bbl with 3ott. Another I ran into had a 327 with 4 speed.
And also the parissienes with 409’s, 396’s and 427’s.
