66 Beaumont parts on 66 Chevelle
Permalink  

I bought a 1966 Chevelle and the previous owner put 1966 tail light extensions with the trim and bumper on. He did this for truly cosmetic purposes. Now, I am in the process of putting on Chevelle extensions and trim because it is available as a repop. I kind of like the look of the Beaumont lights but parts are difficult to come by.

My question is are there any options for new lenses? If not I may be selling these parts on ebay in the next week or so. Thanks for any help, advise, or suggestions.

As far as I know... nope, no reproduction tail light assemblies or lenses. Some Beaumont parts are shared with the Chevelles and GTO/Tempest, but not the tail lights, front grilles, rear bumpers (with the holes for reverse lights) etc.
Post a picture of the vehicle if you can.

I am thinking of selling all the parts that are Beaumont. I just cleaned the Chevelle extentions and will prime them today. Got a Chevy emblem for the rear and ordered a light kit with the chrome strips. I may have to fill in the holes for the Beaumont aluminum trim. Seems like there are extra holes but I wont know until the Chevelle parts arrive. Thought about selling to help someone else out and recoup some of my money. Probally go the ebay route with all of it. Ordered a new Chevelle bumper as well. Not sure it is a cool look and the bigger lenses are nice.

 You will find if your back up lights are nice they will be in high demand as it seems very few of them have survived the years.  Ebay is fair as you should get what they are worth.

Agree with jmont 100%. The plastic reverse lights seem to only handle salt for the first 40 years before they corode LOL. I've got to think that there could be some interest in the rear bumper. Perhaps you market it as a 66 Chevelle bumper with custom holes for the exhaust? (Thinking that this would be a great option for the low riders.)
We'll keep our eyes open for the ebay posting. Good luck with it all.

Thanks, I will post here when the go on ebay. They also have an insert of plastic on the insides on the brake and turn portion. Thought it was weird as it make the light a bit dimmer due to the double red plastic lens.

Any suggestions on the convertible trim pieces on the A pillars? I am looking for both inside and out. Seem like these are hard to come by as well. May consider a trade for these if anyone is interested?

 If I remember correctly sometimes that insert was clear, and sometimes it was red.  Not sure why though?

Any trim pieces I would think are common to the Chevelle and therfore are reproduced, no?...

Not sure about 67 models, but the 66 Chevelle/Beaumonts being referred to are certainly different.
