Hey folks, new to the site, been hanging around Beaumont body forum thought I would say hi to all.  Have a 65 Beaumont Custom Wagon.  Been in the family since new, has all the nice trim, fender mirrors, roof rack, big A hubcaps, 230 with glide.  Needs paint, front seat upholstery, and a bit of interior trim, but its all there as original.  Bought car from my dad at 14 in 1972, it was his first new car in 65.  Will post some photos as soon as I can get it out of its shop, 2 feet fresh snow and tonight -30, don't even want to try start it at that temp.  This is a great site, already got good feedback on a question I posted!

Well ,welcome. Look forward to pictures.

Welcome. We never get tired of pictures. Especially with winter coming and most of the cars tucked away.

I can't wait to see that, welcome!

Welcome from winnipeg, looking foreward  to pics. Love those wagons.

Welcome here from someone else who loves wagons and can't wait to see pics of yours.

Welcome here! Only thing I don't understand..... you've been a member since Feb 2008.

I was quite supprized by that too.  Must have been just after buying first computer, and had no idea what I was doing.   I just re-discovered the site a few days ago!  So after 2+ years of being a member, I finally posted.  Talk about inept!  Much more comfortable with wrench's than a keyboard.

Welcome aboard. I also look forward to seeing photos of your wagon. There's not too many of them on here.

Welcome Chris  ... send out the welcome "Wagon" ... get it ... uhhhh

Hey Chris, just wondering where you live in the Kootenay's. My father lives in Creston (Erickson). The Kootenay valley is one of the nicest areas of our great country. I try to make out a few times a year. We used to have a cottage on the Kootenay Lake years ago and it was where we went for holidays. The lake road is a thrill to drive with anything that can carve corners well.

Welcome from a fellow longroof owner can't wait to see pics.

welcome from sudbury! you,l call this home, in no time!!!

I'm in Old Town an old gold mining village from 1867, its exactly halfway between Cranbrook and Kimberley, and about an hour and a quarter north of Creston B.C.  Next time you are coming through give me a heads up and stop by for a visit.

Found a couple of photos from around 2000, once better weather will update with more current.

Wow... how sweet is that...I love those wagons

Sounds great!  Quite often I take that route rather than the Crowsnest Pass because I love the change of scenery.  Probabaly won't make it out until next spring or summer  but I would love to see your car and BS for a few minutes. 

 

Nice car!!!

What a great car!!!! welcome to the site..

Welcome! Who would ever think that wagons would have been considered cool? Your 65 looks like a great piece of history and I like it a lot. I also love the fact that there is a nice and simple 230 under the hood. Hats off to you for holding onto it all these years and leaving it unmolested.

I was out at Lake Louise last summer, probably close to where you are. God's country for sure!

It really is funny. I have other muscle cars, but everyone wants to see the wagon. The biggest reason I still have it is because of a really good buddy, who stored it and was forced to look at it every day on his farm. Many people wanted parts off it over the years but he protected it like a mother hen. That's why it was just as I left it 23 years earlier. He deserves all the credit for it still being here.

welcome from a fellow beaumont wagon owner. my dads 67 beaumont wagon went up to the farm to be used as a farm hauler. didn't last long before someone took the carb and left the hood off.
