The Toronto Auto Show wrapped up last weekend with some unique entries from GM Canada and these will make their way to the 2017 Edmonton Motorshow that kicks off in Capital City on April 20th. Here's Western GMC Buick's favorites!
GMC Sierra All Mountain Edition 2.0
This isn't a typical pickup. This is the GMC Sierra All Mountain Edition 2.0 truck, built specifically to conquer Mother Nature at Whistler Blackcomb in B.C. Standard tires couldn't cut it on the treacherous mountain peaks, but it's no problem for these hefty snow tracks. They're wide and long to provide excellent ground pressure and a large footprint on the snow. Other modifications include; a 12" lift kit, front snow lights, wet sound speakers, and extra LED lights under the rear bumper and wheel wells. The GMC Sierra All Mountain can travel about 65 km/h on the mountainous terrain.
1951 GM LeSabre Concept
This weird ride was way ahead of its time, despite the fact it never made it into production. The 1951 GM LeSabre concept car was inspired by the F-86 Sabre jet fighter aircraft. Designed under Harley Earl, the vehicle had innovative features including an automatic rain-sensing top and built-in hydraulic jacks. It was powered by a 3.5-litre V-8 engine with two carburetors, one for normal operation on gas and the other had methanol for an extra boost of power when accelerating.
Chevrolet Equinox AWD
Now here's a paintjob with a purpose. This Canadian-made Chevrolet Equinox AWD is designed to showcase some of our favorite Canadian pastimes – everything from curling and hockey to lacrosse and basketball. With diagrams etched all over its body, this Equinox is designed to celebrate Canada’s 150 birthday in a fun, creative way and to showcase all of the activities on the ParticipACTION 150 Play List. But I guess, driving isn’t one of them?
