I'm new to posting, I've been around the board for a year, though.  I just got looking at the production numbers for 1965 Beaumont Custom convertible L6 cars, and realize I have one of them.  I bought mine in 1978 in rough condition, had it all fixed up by '89, and am redoing it again now.  When I bought it, it had a Carter Motors plaque on the trunk lid, so it probably was sold new out of Winnipeg.

Thanks, Carl.  It has a build date of 2-2-1, Paint D, Trim 961, C06TP,  10M35.  Other than the power steering, and power roof, it was pretty plain.  I added a big block, turbo 400, buckets, and a factory tach I got off E-bay.  I just finished scraping all the original undercoating off, and redoing it.  I am now in the process of putting it back together.

I got my GM info today. Canadians seem to be a lot quicker than finns. I haven't received info from the Finnish Vehicle registry, so I still don't know when it came to Finland etc. I think it'll take another two weeks.

Intersesting that it is from canada(produced for sale in canada that is).
Not one of the # produced for overseas sale.  It would be a lot less if it was.
Very cool.

If it was built for overseas shippment we would see weird options such as:
Spray tarp,  Right hand rule headlight aim, etc.

Very cool car!

The GM docs for my 69 SD 350hp and paperwork from 3 other 69 SD 350hp cars all state: 43 of model 73437 and 73427 cars built with this engine. The 43 number includes all hardtops and post cars.
 Does anyone have the number for 325hp cars built?

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, but have been a watcher of the Beaumont cars for years. I've recently gotten the itch to find a restorable 69 SD 2Dr Post Sedan.
Has anyone seen one or have documents on any?

 

hey all,   just joined. i have a 68 beaumont but i am having trouble finding info about the car with the vin#   any suggestions? the car now has bucket seats and a v8. but i don't know if that is orginal or not?

Hi All, I am brand new to the site, but have loved Acadians and Beaumonts since I was a kid. I just picked up a 68 Beaumont Convertible project and have been researching the production figures on your site, which is well layed out by the way. I also sent away to GM for the vehicle info. The first interesting thing I found is that your production figures for all 68 beaumonts shows 14420, but my car which has a build date of June 25, 1968 has a vin number of 14784, could it be that there are no recorded vehicles prior to now above 14420? that leaves 363 vehicles unacounted for plus probably a few built after june 25. Also my info from GM Vintage shows 47 convertibles built with L73 250 HP 327 (models 13667 and 73667). So I wonder how many of the 47 were actually Chevelles not Beaumonts.

Bought new at Grant Brown Motors in Weston ON. Now in Prince George, B.C. Option list: A51 B32 B33 C06 D55 L73 M35 N10 N40 P65 U63 U80 W84 Z49. Butternut Yellow Parchment vinyl buckets and black convertible top.

Interesting. I don't see '66 Beaumont station wagon production numbers, nor do I see any '66 Beaumont wagons in the registry. Is there much known about these? Do we know of any that still exist?...
