I am very curious about the production numbers. I'm scratching my head trying to remember if I've ever seen one in the flesh.
Someone has added the double master cylinder - maybe disc brakes too?
I'd pull the trim off that thing and put it in a vault. Does anyone have any photos or documentation of what the original actually looked like? Need a survivor car to get a baseline!
...The wooden rear windows - I am going to assume that they are an extremely rare dealer installed option. I think it will be difficult to find factory replacements
...the brake master cylinder - It doesn't have disc brakes...so I'm not sure what was stock. I haven't had a lot of time to do/look at the car yet - in fact it is still on the trailer
I've spent a few or more hours on the computer looking for pictures and have not come across any 1966 Beaumont wagons...there are some renderings from the dealer brochures that are useless...
If anyone finds some pictures I would like to see them too.
Although it is an original 283 it will be getting a mild 396
Cheers,

I actually found a pic of that car(brown) that i took back in 2000, its a front 3/4 tho, no back end. I do remember the large finned trim below the rear glass is correct as well.

MY BEAUMONT HAS 4 STUDDED TIRES AND 2 BLOCKHEATERS......AND LOTS OF OIL UNDERNEATH. The other one has a longer roof.
I think I've run out of room. I got my last Beaumont parts car out of Kamloops.
It is amazing what a small world we live in. The first Canadian car I bought was in Kamloops. I drove up there in a rental car and had the convertible hauled down to Seattle. After I turned in my rental car I got in my newly acquired 62 Canadian Nova Convertible and drove to Reno, NV then drove it home to Michigan.
Have a guy who lives a few blocks away from me who has a 66 Wagon. Just noticed car a few weeks ago. Was gonna bug him for parts lol, but every time I drive buy he's working on it.... I'm sure he's attached to his project. So now we know of two in BC.
I can always make a new friend and ask him if he wouldnt mind me taking photos if Stump needs. (Besides, last time i drove by he snapped a few of mine so he owes me lol)
Let me know.

If his is stock, it'd be worth snapping as many pictures as you can. Same as yours. They aren't making any more of them and there doesn't seem to be much documentation out there.
I sold both mine to a guy in Morris,mb.Those fins are definitely correct for the custom-I had them reproduced for mine when I had it.Super hard trim to find.
I did give it a quick exterior and engine compartment bath with a pressure washer. I've picked up a few parts - went to Portland and Monroe and found the following:
New windshield, front bumper, front bumper brackets (could give someone that awesome looking bumper that is on it now...form a line and no pushing!), I also picked up a 12 bolt rear, a set of wheels, a d/s front fender as well as two sets of headers (will sell one set).
I'm in the process of building a 1970 402 - and have collected all the parts for it except for front pulleys as I'm not sure if I have to use the short or long water pump, pulleys, etc. As my research has been inconclusive
A buddy of mine came up with the 396 emblems
Just picked the front disc brake stuff today for a pretty good deal
Next up is a brillo pad on the exterior and interior removal in prep for metal repair - on that note does the TRIM Code 373 mean Red?
Cheers!
