a couple of days ago, we were trying to indentify an acadian by the trim and i scanned my 63 shop manual supplement exterior molding diagrams. to show the difference between a canso, beaumont and a sport deluxe, nothing in the book about an invader, [IMG]https://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w84/...

Is there a source for new turn signal lens in the bumper? If not, looking for a pair of good ones. My driver side must have melted or cracked and someone cut it out and inserted an 1-1/2" piece of a different color. Thanks

I have two parts I bought thinking they were 63 Acadian fender spears. It turns out they are not and I need some help identifying them. The part #'s are 3813427 & 3813428 they are a left and right and it appears they would mount on a fender. I wonder if they are (Chevelle) beaumont pieces?? Anyone k...

Not sure if thes is the right spot ot not, BUT I NEED some help with the trunk trim. Just the "outer" trim ring. If you have this on you car, I need to know a few diemensions for the thin trim placement. I would need: -Trim wideth of trim alone. (like 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch) -Trim wideth from outside e...

I figured out where the trim for the 64 Canso came from. Out of the left over bin from 62, 1962 Nova to be exact. A fellow member on Steve's pointed it out to me. After I had time to look closely, it does look like the exact molding just upside down and backwards.(But i guess the lengths would be different...

I always thought the Canso started in 62 but my 62 gm parts catalogue only list 2 series, invader and beaumont. After searching the net i've found many 63 canso's listed but no 62's. So if this correct the 62 line had 2 series. the 63 line had 3 series, invader, canso and beaumont. then in 64 they split th...

For likely 30 years, I thought 67 Acadian and 67 2+2 shared the same front fender louver. Apparently they are only similar, not the same. Why would GM make something so close, yet different?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this info. If it's wrong please let me know and will move it. I have a 67 Acadian Canso s/d, and just so you know, if your replacing fenders. But the fenders on the 66 and 67's are the 66 fenders. That is how they came out from the factory. Many guys don't believe this i...
