1966 Dominion Atlantic
Minor redux from original post
In 1966 Dominion introduced its first midsize car, the Atlantic. While this still meant a wheelbase of nearly 3.0m it was a smaller and cheaper alternative to the Laurier that proved popular with many families looking to have a well equipped car on a budget.
V8 Sedan
Powered by an updated version of the Confederation V8 increased to 339ci of displacement making 236 hp and 306 lb-ft paired to a three speed manual or optional three speed automatic, the V8 model was fairly well equipped. Also optional was front bucket seats for increased comfort.
Stag
Included with the Atlantic range was a performance trim level to compete in the new muscle car markets. For its introduction year the Stag was powered by a high output 350ci version of the Confederation V8 producing 284 hp and 355 lb-ft, enough to send the car to 100 km/h in 8.8s. Standard was a four on the floor transmission, bucket seats, magnesium wheels on sport tires, and front disc brakes. The Stag stood out with its matching roof and side stripes in a contrasting colour and the several bright colours to choose from not available on other models of the Atlantic.
