I had some time to spare, so for you 67 owners, enjoy! And don't despair 66 owners. I don't have the 66 book but many of the 66 part numbers for accessories show up in the 67 book.
Check out the wheel covers on Page 15 of this cataloge.
It lists a second full wheel cover for beaumonts models 738 and 737? What the heck is that. I have never seen these before. Any possible way to make a clear closeup scan of those?
Anyone got any ideas what that is all about, anyone ever seen these caps before???????????????????????????????

MY BEAUMONT HAS 4 STUDDED TIRES AND 2 BLOCKHEATERS......AND LOTS OF OIL UNDERNEATH. The other one has a longer roof.
Ive seen those caps before on a U.S. 1966 GTO. They are shown in some of the high performance 1966 U.S. Pontiac brochures. Surely they are obscure.
One thing I remember about them is that they carried no script on them and it occurred to me they would be natural on a Beaumont Sport Deluxe. That was nearly 20 years ago, now today I see this posted here... One thing I remember about them is that the cap stuck out considerably and they had quite a rake to the 6 spokes. I saw it on a yellow 66 GTO in Scarborough back around 1990. Several years before that I purchased a bunch of U.S. Pontiac brochures from a collector in Peterborough. Ill have to see if I have any pictures of them hanging around.

This is awesome Carl. Thanks a bunch, now I see the RPO hubcaps and all. This moves you up on the Carl list !!.... I'm so confused, good Carl bad Carl, Old Carl how many are there ??
Yesterday at the swap meet Andrew (2qwik2c) asked me if he could have a copy of the 1967 GM accessories catalogue, Canadian version. I figured I had scanned and posted it on here somewhere along the way, so rather than just email him, I thought I would bump this up for the newbies since these were done here a couple of years ago.
Fun reading, and a good resource when you are shopping for NOS accessories. Also sometimes helpful for interchange from model/model or year/year on vehicles.
58, 64,65,67,68,69 are all scanned and the links posted here in the library. I have more to do but it's quite time consuming. Better winter project!

You're welcome, my pleasure that I can share it and hopefully it helps someone out.
But now I have a real dilema. I started that Photobucket account 2 years ago. I must have linked it to some obscure email account that I never use because you can only have one account per email address and I already have two other accounts. The dilema is, I forget the password and don't know which email account they have sent the "reset password" email to..... What I'm trying to say is, I can't add any more to that account unless I can figure it out.

Thanks Carl, I remeber that catalog very well, used it a few times back in 67, now if I can figure out how to download it?? Those hubcaps on page 15 are for 1966, seen them.

Mark and I were discussing the possibility of a power antenna on a 67 full size 4 door. I had no luck finding anything concrete in the parts book but this accessory book lists it for all B body Pontiacs in 67 except wagons.
If you want to see, just click on page 3 in the link that says CLICK HERE in the first post at the top of this page.
