Theres a number of repro's out there BUT they fit terribly, the quality sucks. Carls right, the 66-67 Canso take the same as the 66 nova. Anyway I have a very nice G.M. original bezel here thats in really nice condition if your interested. Cheers Dave

Finding these is starting to seem like I'm looking for Big Foot! Are these cars really that different from the Chevy II? I currently have bezels from 67 Chevy II on car(as purchased). I bought a set for a 66 ChevyII,and they don't fit! They look proper (the finish) but are different size. Any leads fella's???

Do you have a picture of your front fender? A 67 Canso front fender is a 66 Nova front fender, so a 66 Nova bezel is correct.

For the record, 66-67 Canso and 66 Nova use the same fender. 67 Nova is unique fender.

The bezels are reproduced if you haven't already seen those.

It does sound like you have 67 nova fenders on your car. If the bezels you have are chromed pot metal, they are 67 Nova's ONLY. If they are anodized aluminum, they are 66 Nova as well as 66-67 Acadian (Canso). How well does your grill fit? Dave

Thanks for all the responses. Great help. I think your right on the 67 Nova fender thing.Nova bezel fits perfect(67), headlight is one third hidden at bottom of 66 bezel. What is the trick to posting pics here? Sounds like I may be buying more fenders, lol.

 Hi Lon, first off, I would be the last guy to try and explain how to download pics as I'm a total idiot when it comes to computors. One of the 2 Carls are the best professors for that. As far as the grill goes, is it a 67 Canso grill or a nova grill, because the 67 nova grill ties into the bezels on the inside design. Just curious, cheers Dave

It's a Canso grill. It doesn't match up with the two tabs on the Nova bezels. I knew the bezels were wrong when I bought the car. I'm working off an iPad ,so my photos aren't in " files" the site asks for. Wondering if I can E-mail them to myself on this site. Or I could E-mail them to you.
