65 Beaumont Spotted


Out at lunch today Pharmacy & Eglinton in Toronto and heading straight towards me southbound was a turquoise 1965 4dr Sedan Beaumont, mag type wheels and straight dual pipes ploughing through the snow. It looked pretty solid too. Go figure, the most snowy and salty Monday in years and there it went. Anyone know it? confuse

I've often thought it would be neat if I had the $$ I'd buy a cheap old Arizona car (2 or 4 door-70-72 A Body) and pull the body off the frame and treat every exposed inner surface to P.O.R. I'd then swap all brake and fuel lines with stainless as well as the exhaust (including all clamps and hangers). Then I'd powder coat the wheels and suspension components. I'd run a small block and convert it to EFI for cold weather driveability. I'd then Krown spray the car for extra measure. Say you dumped 10-15 grand into the whole thing and drove it all year. I bet the car would last 20 years. That's recycling at it's best!
