Your Beaumont is the same colour as my Sport Deluxe convertible
Thanks wonder did they ever build 1965 Beaumonts with 64 tags on them?
Highly unlikely.
Can you take pics of the 2 tags and the group will comment on the originality of the rivets.
There are other small differences between 64 and 65 beside the grille, tail lights etc. For example can you post the numbers from the radio dial? ( all even or odd numbers? )

Your avatar shows a car with a 1965 Beaumont front clip. Yet the VIN and cowl tag are for a 1964 Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe.
A picture of the rear of the car will tells us whether a 1964 or 1965 Acadian Beaumont for the car body. As they have two drastically differing taillights.
Based on the tags I decoded. Are a for and early production 1964 Acadian Beaumont Sport Deluxe.
My guess the car has had front end damage. Sometime in its past. And only a 1965 Beaumont front clip available to repair it.

I rather like that combination of Bahama Green exterior with Saddle interior. If fact I think it's a much more pleasing than my original Bahama Green with Black interior. Maybe also that's why, in the past, someone changed my seats and door panels to white. The white remain.
