Just messing around on EBAY today and came across some interesting Pontiac/Acadian/Beaumont stuff (manuals, brochures, posters etc). Prices seen fair and the owner is Canadian (Vancouver Island). I ordered an owners manual and a few posters. I am sure you veteran guys have all this stuff already....but you never know. His email is impalass409@shaw.ca
One of these days I will figure out how to make that a live link...(help)?
Guys name is Marvin Welch... I attached a copy of the e-mail he sent me below...this was just for 66 Beaumont literature but it sounds like he has a bunch of stuff...hope you find something that might interest you!!
Subject: 1966 Beaumont lit items
Shipping is in Cdn for lit & manuals. I can sell direct, and combine items for savings in shipping for you. Also, you'd be paying Cdn $$ instead of USF thru the "net". Two things about Beaumonts, Acadians, Parisiennes - (1): any Canadian Pontiac is far more rare both as a car, and also the original literature - than the plentiful US versions. (2): Cdn Pontiacs use Chevrolet mechanicals and powertrains (a good thing costwise, Chevy parts are plentiful) - only difference is in unique Pontiac body style and trim. Thus ORIGINAL lit, manuals, and trim parts are scarce, and more valuable and costly than their Chevelle equivalents.
*1966 Pont/Acad/Beau SM - crisp, shiny, VG/Ex/NOS - $85, $110, $125.....Chassis (mechanical only, has chas. wir diag's).These show up occasionally, a worn, soiled one recently sold for about $75USF.
*1966 Fisher Body USA (reprint) - was $50 (sold) (SM for body, trim, glass, etc, has body wd's).
(This one, being US, has Chevelle, not Beaumont. So cheaper, & all is useable except body trim, etc).
There is a VERY RARE US-printed Cdn version, with Beaumont, I have ONE left, $110.
*1966 Wiring Diagrams Book - repro from the factory SM, NOT aftermarket info - $15
*1966 Beaumont Owners Manual(repro)-$27....original, cvr marks, int excellent - $75.
1966 Warranty Booklet - unique to canadian Pontiacs - repro, $15
1966 Seatbelts Folder - RARE 6-panel folder that was with orig. OM pkg - orig $35, repro $10
*1966 Beaumont Sales Brochure - excellent - $80 There are at least 4 different ones. Repro = $30.00
*1964-69 Beaumont Parts catalog (repro) $85...from NOS original, excellent, looseleaf. Chassis, body, accessories - huge, heavy!!
*1966 GM Cars Accessories Manual - rare Canadian dealer version - repro - $35 (interior page shown, for contents).
1966 prices/options sheets - 8.5 x 11, 4 from GM, 2 from Victoria dealership - repro - $10pkg
*1966 New Models Information Manual - Pontiac, Acadian, Beaumont, GMC Truck - repro - rare book sent to dealers before the SM was issued - $30. (Has alll features and specs that are new for 1966).

*Posters - 11 x 17, glossy, heavy stock, I have all body styles, $10 each. 8.5x 11 = $5 ea. Sample pics attached. Need more info?????? Ask!! Enlarged from Brochure and magazine ads.
Any (sold) items can usually still be located and supplied if needed, except for the Cdn Version, Fisher Body book. Most folks will never see one of those.
Note -
Please ask any questions you wish - I'll help all I can with info, lit, and can send you parts suppliers, such as Blackie Pawluk, Courtenay, B.C.,( Beaumont Script and Parts). blackie57@shaw.ca

read discription carefully, most of this stuff is reproduction..
1963 PONTIAC "ACADIAN" OWNERS MANUAL - unreserved!! The glovebox driver's info book!! This auction is for a quality reproduction, USING THE FACTORY ORIGINAL AS A MASTER, not a generic aftermarket-produced item!!

I have dealt with Marvin several times and he is a great honest guy!!!! Yes some of his material is reproduced but at a very high quality!!! I have some and you are hard pressed to see the difference between it and the original! He mentioned that the Original 1966 Body by Fisher book that shows both Cdn and US cars and is printed in the USA (but on the first page says General Motors Products of Canada) is very rare! Yes but I do have two of them and would sell one for $80.00 plus shipping (thats what I paid him for it). Yes Acadian and Beaumont are shown in it! The cover shows some wear but all pages are very clean with no grease marks or tears. Bob.

Just happy to even see a reproduction manual...let alone a genuine one!! I am pretty new to owning a true Canadian classic and anytime I see anything available that is relevant it gets my heart going!! If you guys know of sources for parts, literature, or even memorabilia please pm me. Hard to find some of this stuff as a newbie!! Thanks in advance.
