Does anyone have a set of 67 Beaumont tail light housings that have NO scratches or marks on the silver inner area? Don't care what color they are, as long as the inner area is nice.

I took a look at those, Thanks for the info, but I'll pass on those, mine are nicer. Mine are not rusty or pitted, they just have a big scratch on the one inside edge & I don't know what type of finish that rough stuff is.
Thanks, my 1 housing has a big scratch in it. If you or anyone knows what type of paint that rough inner surface is then I'll just re-do mine because they are really nice other than that. This was my dad's car 43 years ago & he passed away last year, so I set out to get it back. I live in Michigan now & found the car 40 miles from where I grew up near Carman MB. The frame is almost done & the body is in my bodyshop,building new engine in spare time as well.
Thanks, my family still lives in Carman & surrounding area & we come back every xmas & summer time. Hoping to have the car done for the trip back next summer.
I work in Rosenort. We sell cars, trucks, lawn and garden, farm equipment, quads etc etc etc. and deal a lot with people from your area. I may know some of your family. Friesen is not the most unusual name around here!

We did, they retired, then rented out the land for the last 25 years. My brother worked at Johnston Farm Supplies in Carman(now Green Valley Equipment I think) for 30 years. By the way, that picture of the car is how I found it. It is now on a rotisserie getting the sheet metal work done.

Thanks, I'll update the pictures as I go through the restoration process. I can't believe how nice is was after all this time. Got lucky, I'll use the original floors,trunk floor,doors,front fenders, & trunk lid. Going with a SS hood & have already put on new o.e. style quarters. Wheel lips were kinda rusted through & into a few inches of the outer wheel well, so I replaced the quarters & the lower 6 inches of the inner wheelwell.
