Here is an advertising stamping plate that I have for the new 1968 Beaumont. Here is the text 1968 Beaumont Beaumont for 1968 announces a new entry for personal Sport Car enthusiasts, the Sport Deluxe SD-396 (above), featuring completely new exterior and interior styling plus important engineering refinements, including an new chassis with a new wider track and a new 115 wheelbase. Body styling is highlighted by a longer hoodline, shorter rear deck, new roof, grille, and rear end, hidden windshield wipers, and new front and rear marker lamps. The new interiors feature a newly-styled instrument panel, crank-operating side vent windows, and a new ignition warning buzzer system.
