Very nice indeed! The car and the story. I had the pleasure of seeing this awesome car at SuperRun but no one around it to chat with. I'll make a point to meet and chat next time. Congrats on Car of the Month.

B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. and my favourite year for the Beaumont. I never owned one but i did own a 67 Chevelle back in the early eighties and this vintage has always been tops for me. Hope you have many more years of cruising with her. Cheers. George

Going way back in the time machine to the early 70's a real good friend of mine had a 68 SD 396 his Mom bought new. Loved that car. Another good friend I met a few years later bought a 67 Sport Deluxe that I found with a seized engine. Was a 327/300 P/Glide. We soaked it with penetration oil and other stuff then towed it and got it to break free and run like a champ.
At the time I was into the 68-69 cars and newer, but that 67, white, red buckets,console, never re painted, still with the full wheel discs and mint interior changed my mind!
Outstanding! I met Ralph at Majestic's and it was the nicest car in the building hands down. Pictures don't do this car justice, so glad to see this featured, undoubtedly one of the nicest Beaumont's in existence.
Very nice car. I love the fact you kept it original and drive it! Having your family help with the restoration adds to the great history it already has. We were at the Super Run in Red Deer as well in 2015 and I recall seeing your car. Congratulations!
Thanks to everyone for the comments, myself and my family appreciate it, makes all our hard work worth it! We are presently working on all the little details that weren't finished for the Majestic's show and the SuperRun, as all car guys know it's never quite done. As of now we are planning to attend the World of Wheels show in Winnipeg this march and hopefully the Draggins Show in Saskatoon too. After those shows we are planning to drive to the SuperRun in Brandon this July with a group of car buddies. So in the meantime, stay warm, keep wrenchin and hope to meet some Pontiac brothers this summer.
Congratulations on your feature. Boy, the restoration time that you have had and the pleasure of completing it with your son is spectacular. It is a real pretty car. I do like the Cragars, and after all they are period perfect ! ? Yea, nice car.
