Actually I think Pontiac dropped them around 1971? not sure on that.
I have bought a couple non runner Buicks cheap and they were Nylon gear failures.
I thought the Canadian Parisienne's were Chevy powered and I have seen small block Chevies with the Nylon over coated cam gear that were reportedly untouched- 2 were from 1978
