Hello all, I am looking for a drivers quarter for a 64 Acadian Beaumont 2 DR HT. My old man picked up this car that he has been watching rot in a junk yard for over 30 years. other than the damaged drivers quarter it is in not bad shape, everything else seems to be intact. we brought it home and with a little TLC got it running, purrs like a kitten. we have a replacement trunk lid and also another frame if we need it. need the Quarter though, even if we can get one with a good tail light housing so we can modify a new chevelle quarter. Any leads appreciated.

You can buy that quarter panel new through golden leaf. If you can't find the left tail light bucket sheet metal because that one is munched I might have a line on one. PM your location if you don't want to post it. If your not in BC maybe someone else will have that tail light sheet metal for you. I'm on Vancouver Island. Good on you for saving that one. It's nice and complete. Paul.
Welcome! Cool Little Eddie! Thank your "old man" (Big Eddie) for saving one more!

Amazing how complete this car is! Even the trunk lettering is there....wow! Tissue dispenser too. Welcome to CP Little Eddy. Lots of knowledge and help here.
Thanks for the response, The car is from the okanagan BC, its all original and I believe it has most all options. I live in penticton BC, if 65sssd (Paul) has a line on the tail light sheet metal please forward me the info. I need the tail light Bezel as well if one pops up. The golden leaf site looks great, thanks, I didn't see any full quarters though.I'll check out the Acadian on used Victoria as well. I've checked out the registry and will get to that once i gather the info.

I thought golden leaf reppoped it but I do know that full quarters are available. I will look for the advertisement. Was that car the SD from the Indian reserve outside Kamloops? As for the tail light sheet metal a buddy has a cut up 1964 Beaumont 4 door so I will drop him a call and see what he wants for that piece. At least your close to the island. Paul.
I used the reproduction full 1/4's and the drivers side was good but the pass side needed some "tweaking" for proper fit up.. you can get a one pc trunk replacement now too. really good to see this car being saved.. good on ya.. very cool
Here is the OPG full quarter. As for the 64 tail light metal my buddy said he would sell the drivers bucket but it's just a matter of when. The 4 door parts are for his HT and the pieces he cuts out of the HT would be the one he sells to you. The housing is solid. You would have to rebuild the filler piece between the trunk bottom and the trunk sill. He might have that piece also but it is rusty and that's why he is using his 4 door parts to replace it. The one piece trunk floors that are reproduced have the complete bottom sheet metal right to the bumper filler but no molded metal to the trunk sill if that makes sense? I will PM you with what he wants for the drivers side taillight metal. His 64 HT also has the Vinyl trim for a two tone color with no vinyl like yours. Paul.
Thanks for the info, I also found full quarters from Eckler's Chevelle as well.Do you know if any of these full quarters include the metal right up to where the trunk seal goes? Also if your contact has all tail light components for the drivers side I would be interested, not sure if I can save it all.
welcome eddy from island was it at the wreckers coming into town headin east? Ecklers is hell to deal with at least for impala stuff i suspect you will have some frame damage to fix!
Yes it was and yes the frame will need some work, either that or we will switch it as we have access to a 4dr chevelle for parts, from my research it shows they have the same frame. Thanks for the tip on Ecklers, I'm gaining very helpfull info all the time.
