I am working on putting door panels on and have a question regarding the spring and the large and small foam bits. What I have figured so far from the imprint left on the foam bits is the small or skinnier ones go on the door handle stud and the larger or fatter ones go with spring and placed on the window cra...

My dash on My 69 Beaumont Custom is cracking. Is it posible to find a new one or reproduction one for the car.

Would love to here from anyone that owns a 1966 Pontiac Beaumont Sport Deluxe convertible. I have owned mine since 1979 and to date have not come across another one. I have seen a couple that were customs made to look like the Sport Deluxe but not the real thing. I have seen a few pictures. Love to hear from...

<sigh> I keep finding things wrong that I just need to fix - the seat adjustment knob is missing on passenger side and black plastic on driver's side - is this the correct knob for my 1964 Beaumont Sport Deluxe (chrome metal)?

There is a switch or indicator to the right of the instruments Next to the fan control. something under the dash pad in a car I just bought , sight unseen. does anyone know what it is . I was thinking rear defroster? Or speaker control?

... even though it is not 1964 (apparently nobody reproduces the 64 Beaumont interior), they are surely different than the Chevelle seat covers that are on the car now ... and I think would make the car stand out even more in a sea of US Chevelles and GTOs ... especially since I noticed (after the car was d...

Finally the weather turned nice, so took the 64 Beau SD for her first drive (top down - yay!) - 90 miles round trip to visit my nephew who is staying in his boss' condo on the northern tip of Captiva Island (his boss is Sam Johnson, owner of SC Johnson, originally Johnson Wax). On the way I discovered a few th...

I'll try to make a long story short. Driver's side door window was hard to roll up, had to push it down, then it fell inside door. Removed it. Determined that rollers and regulator are fine, but window glass came out of the bottom sash channel (the big cast chromed part that attaches to the bottom of the wi...

I ordered an interior kit for the 66 Beaumont and they asked me if the car was early or late model cause the head liner and sail panel covers were different for the 66 Chevelle . Does anyone know if this was true for the Beaumont too? Do we know what time of year they switched over?

just wondering if a 67 GTO headlight switch is the same as a Beaumont one? The dimmer control in my switch is busted, so I have no dash lights!!

<sigh> I keep looking at my car, and noticing things that just do not seem quite right ...

Even though it is still too hot in the garage (even with my window A/C on) I continue to see what might need to be done on the Beaumont. And I was looking at the dealer photo of my console ... Well poop. Sure looks like something is missing, should not see the mechanism, eh? Is this the part I need (called a con...

From what I've read so far, a Sport Deluxe in 67 would come standard with a bench seat, buckets would be ordered as an option... Would a bench in a SD have Roncina cloth centre and Madrid vinyl, like the Custom series? Or would it have full vinyl as the American Chevelle or Malibu?? Thanks!

does anybody have measurements for the width of the rear seat on a hardtop. I bought a rear seat from a guy out west who told me it was out of a 2 dr hardtop, looked good in the pics but my buddy just dropped it off for me, and it looks too narrow, so I assume it must be for a convertible. if anybody could give m...

No matter how I try to explain this, it's going to be long and drawn out! Last week I went to help a friend try to figure out a non-working fuel gauge on his 64 GTO (clone) that I sold him about 8-10 years ago. I supplied him with a 65 GTO tach and gauge cluster which he used. I modified the original 64 idiot ligh...

I am really trying to stave off the urge to 'upgrade' my 1964 Beaumont SD, but am not being successful - I just can't resist. I look at the GTO dashes (which appear identical to mine) and I see the tachometer option, and a new reproduction tach is made that looks identical to original 1964 (different than...

OK so it is beyond droopy, it just will not stay up (no evil ED jokes you guys!). I have Googled the heck out of this and cannot seem to find a good answer. MAYBE I need new bushings but it is unclear if that is truly the solution, and, if it is, how in the heck do I install them? Some information says I need to CAR...
