Is the 66 Beaumont antenna the exact same as the 66 chevelle? I am hoping to install one on my 66 sd. Thank you

They are the same as a given year of Canadian Chevelle, which is the same as the U.S. ones.
I know the telescopic mast & tip on my '67 is more of an oval cross section than the earlier design, and I believe the '66 is the same as the '67.
I think earlier ones (maybe 1965 or 1964 & earlier) used a different base cap than the U.S. Chevelles in that it was a black plastic base cap rather than a chromed base. No problem though if you had an earlier car, look for the same antenna cap as a solid axle Corvette (available reproduction FYI).

66 beaumont. I have had my original radio bluetoothed and refitted for fm as well. I do not have an antenna nor a hole for one in my repop pass fender. Should I just install a repop 66 Chevelle antenna or can someone suggest another option? Thank you.

If it was me it would be a rear antenna. They look SO good on those cars. Have you thought about doing that?

Hi Carl. I have not thought of that at all. I will ponder it. At this point I would like to keep the car looking as close to factory as possible. Sould I be looking for a 66 GTO antenna or 66 Chevelle?

I know there was a rear antenna option for Beaumont, so that would not be incorrect on your car. I just can't say if it had to be power or if there was a manual rear antenna offered as well.

Would these be rigid antenna or telescopic Carl?
Good to know this. Thank you Carl.
As far as I've ever seen, only telescopic.
Ok thanks.
