Hi guys, Just checking with anyone who has a 66' Canso, this is not an SD car. The question is we are putting my dash back together and we're looking at getting the dash lights to dim on the headlight switch, it's been so long that I can't recall if they did. The headlight switch does have the rheostat so I a...

Just trying to gather information on a 66 Acadian. Vin# 6 (year) 71637 (v-8 canso 2dr ht) 006762 (were the serial numbers 6 digits in 1966?) Production numbers of 309 really seems low to me. Of course this is not the SD model, just the Canso hardtop.
