car domain, anthonys acadian beaumont. shows the low fuel warning you have mentioned in the 65sd 396cars, part number doesnt show in the books, his vanity mirror?, sorry looks like around 58 script, he shows other stuff too, opens a can of worms, In my time of collecting parts, I dont ever remember seeing courtesy lights like those, isnt the SD wood wheel just a 2 spoke like I have shown, not the 64 GTO type, the clock is correct by the looks of it, opinions fellas, Im sceptical on some of his claims, sorry
Never heard of low fuel on an A-body. The underdash courtesy lights were available dealer accessories. My 64 wagon has them original. for sure originals. The mirrors would have been carried through for many years, unchanged.

MY BEAUMONT HAS 4 STUDDED TIRES AND 2 BLOCKHEATERS......AND LOTS OF OIL UNDERNEATH. The other one has a longer roof.
I KNOW THAT CAR WELL!!!!!! It is a one owner car from winnipeg, carl probably knows it too. It was owned by a little old couple in niakwa park. The niegbour got a hold of it, ended up across the road at an apartment block. I finally tracked down the people, but they said it had just sold to the USA and was awaiting shippment. Wish i had of been older when the old couple owned it. I would have bought it for sure.
It had huge fist size holes in the front frame boxes, really rusty quarters, but all original. I regret never looking under the hood. 283 car though
I remember looking at it really close. It is all original, but it had quite a few dealer, or aftermarket things added on.
One is the aftermarket stereo speakers(NOT FACTORY). I even remember the speaker fader was aftermarket 60's era.
The other was a dealer rear defog, they mounted the switch on the righthand side of the column. the grill in the back was a perfect rectangle, not the usual one with a curve on one side(but an original GM part for sure). Perhaps it was added on in 1965 or 1966.
Also the floor mats are not 64s(the 64s had maple leafs). those are 66 and up.
To sum up, the options and accesories that are on that car, many of them were added 2, 3, 4, 5 years after 64 for sure.
P.S. I also question the originality of the front SD grill emblem? anyone have a real 64 SD with this emblem?
As for this Anthonys accesories talk, i'm not sure what to think. I have never heard of all this GTO stuff available on a Beaumont. I know his aircleaner talk is crap, GM canada always used the canadian aircleaners, unless is was a very hiperf L79 or something like that.
He shows the cover of a 64 acadian accessory catalog and a pic of the seat covers, i would like to see the rest of that book. Anyone ever seen is or have it? Whe way he describes stuff, makes me think info is in this book. All news to me

personaly, I think the guy is full of it, why tell people BS, if its correct for the car say so, if its not say so, its the only way to properly document whats realy suppose to be there, its amazing how many cars today have more options on them than when they left the factory, we've heard ducks fart before, just sad to see people mislead other enthusiasts, takes the fun out of the hobby
The guy with the 64 SD tried to buy a couple of cars off me, but since the economy took a dive I hav'nt heard from him. That 64 had a rare gauge cluster in it. Somebody should give him a ring and buy that car back. I think I have his number somewhere.
