Morning 65 Beau,
Nice Ride and I think we have a lot to compare!!! At the moment I am trying to find out what the Off-set on a 6Jx14 steel rim should be for the 65 "A" frame models sould be. If you perhaps have the info then I can have my rims modified. We have only one good person that can do this and he is known all over South Africa! 5/120pcd x 14" rims are fairly easy to obtain from the breakers!

The colour of your Beaumont: When I stripped the Malibu I found the same colour inside the body. The outside was more red. The outside had a touch-up job way back! What is the name of the colour on your's?

Thanks for the rim info. The Malibu has only one original rim and it is a 4 1/2Jx14 and had a 700x14 white/wall tyre on! Big difference from 4 1/2J to 7J!!!!!

Sweet looking car. I really like them done as original.

No question about deciding whether to drive it before you die. Why save it for someone else? I used to think of saving cars, now I want to enjoy them while I can!

JoHann; I found a near color match with a Hampsted Green; I believe its from a Nissan mini-van, its is so close of the same color Turqoise its hard to believe they are not the same color.I have used this touch up aerisol, its crazy for the match. I just wanted to find something out there with todays colors to come close as the Turq. just to see, this is what I have found, dont know year minivan88-92?

65beau, I have a red Face!!!! ashamed

With a different home language I mixed up the colours! The colour is of the one standing inside the store! Regal Red! It appears to be close to a maroonish colour that I found inside the Malibu. Will take a photo of mine and then all can tell me what the colour is!!!
