I just purchased a 68 beaumont.Can someone tell me where to find the paint code.Also are there any good sites out here with info on the beaumonts, thanks
First of all welcome to the site and I think you will actually find out that you have found one of the best sites for Beaumont info. When you check through this site you will find an area specifically for Beaumonts. If you look in general Beaumont discussion you can find info on paint chips I think it's on page 8. If you scroll through those pages there is a ton of info and if you don't find it just ask. There is a ton of wisdom out there and I get educated a little every week. Never too old to learn they say.
Welcome to the site, your paint code is on your cowl tag, see below pic of cowl tag from one of our posts. To the left of paint is code. Take a pic of your cowl tag or post info from yours and we will give you info needed. This is the best Beaumont and Pontiac site going.

Thanks for all the help.The car is all steel no bondo no rust.It is very solid except needs paint.Where do i find the cowl tag.In a while I will be getting to work on it as of right now i dont have the time.I will take some pics and post them.Also the interior has been redone but in nogahyde.Not sure about spelling. Where can i find out what the interior originally looked like. Thanks for everything and cant wait to get going .This site makes me feel positive about my investment. Randy
Look for it on the drivers side engine compartment top of firewall or cowl. The interior or trim code is also on this tag. That code will tell you if bench or bucket car and colour of interior. Looking forward to pics.
I took some pics of the cowl tag but they are not good.Here is the numbers.ST 68 73227 05796658 TR 752 1 12 29 QQ At Top made in canada M 20.Thanks again and gere is a couple pics.
Welcome aboard. In the short time since your first post you've seen evidence of how knowledgeable, helpful and quick our group can be. Good luck with the car. Ted
All i can say is wow.Im glad i found this site.Would someone be able to tell me where i might buy parts for this car.Esp. interior parts door panels headliner etc.Also when i get it painted what do you all suggest the original or something else.Im not planning on selling it but want something nice to drive in the summer.Thanks guys appreciate everything.
Wow! You have one rare Beaumont there! I wonder how many 4 speed post cars were built? It's certainly worth putting her back to original. Congrats on your find! For a fee, GM Vintage Vehicle Services can provide you with a build sheet for your car (includes options, selling dealer, build date etc). You'll never have a problem finding a buyer for this one if you ever decide to sell. Lot's of guys on here have been looking a long time for a solid Beaumont post!

Good looking car and welcome to the site. Not that there is anything wrong with Verdoro Green but unless you have some sentimental attachment go ahead and paint the car any colour you want. You don't plan on selling it (which won't hurt the price) anyways and you will have to live with it for a while so it might as well be something you like. As far as the engine. If there is no engine option code on the cowl tag it would have been a 307.
Hi all.I need some of your expert very much appreciated help.Are there some pics of a 68 beaumont interior pics on this site some where or where could i find some.I want to get an idea of what it used to look like so i can get to work.Im taking it to a mechanic friend who is going to make sure its mechanically sound and then it goes for a paint job.Another friend said items like dash pads floor carpets door panels are the same as chevelles.Also in the instument panel there are three big guages.First fuel guage and lights second speedo and is the third most likely a tach.The previous owner just shoved a sun tach in there and it fell out and snapped the wires so i unhooked it and left it out.Does anyone know if it is a tach where i could find one.Thanks for all the knowledge guys and gals.Great bunch you are. I will keep you informed of the progress. Randy
