Hi does anyone know what wheels came on the 68 Beaumont sd from the factory?   also open to opinions on rims that would be best suited for the car? pictures would be greatly appreciated, thanks

I believe these are the right ones. The centre cap is actually the same as the centre cap on the 67-69 Beaumont rally wheel.

A bit off topic but aren't the turn signals clear in '68?

 I believe 1968 was the transition year for white to amber turn signals.

 "1968 marked another change:

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 required amber

(rather than the earlier white) lens front turn signals;

rear signals could be red or amber.

Note: It was also in the sixties that 4-way hazard flashers were first required".

Clear lens with amber bulb.

Often seen with a nice Full Wheel Cover. (likely standard on SD396 and parking lenses do look clear in this 1968 rendering)

 I have 4 you can have, they are used and are over 50 years old. 14" though. PM me details. 

I'll have to see if I can find my old photos, but I'm pretty sure that the '68 I had in 1980 had amber lenses.

My 67 had them    This was in 1979. I had to pay 2950.00 cash for this (with new paint and new top )  1 of 66  

I kept the wheel covers for my 79 Wagon
