(blushing) Thanks to everyone. I just want to thank Todd for asking me to submit the car for this, and to let everyone know you have motivated me to clean up a few bits and pieces not quite right on the car, and maybe more importantly to keep it. It goes to the bodyshop for a couple small touch ups (kid's bike mark) at the end of the month, and I have a couple small upgrades I'll do myself right after. I was ready to sell it a month ago, but sold a 67 Acadian instead by coincidence, and with all the way too kind words I have rekindled my interest in this one. It is a big brother to the 65 Sd I'm doing for the wife, so it will be fun having them out together from time to time. Thank you again to all. Cheers!

Haaa! "I'm trying to quit....but they keep draggin my in!"
I was looking to sell mine a few years ago, after having owned it for 20 plus years. I contacted a local fella who is known for his passion of '66 Beaumonts. While he could easily have purchased it from me, he convinced me that I shouldn't. Glad he did. He's also since become a friend (and a great resource.)
I'm going to miss seeing this Jan feature car come Feb. Congrats on the honour!
