First Post Intro - 66 Beaumont SD vert
Permalink  

I've been a member for several years and found this site to be a great source of info, but sorry, I haven't taken the time to post about my car...until now. I've got a 1966 Beaumont Sport Deluxe convertible. I first owned the car from 1980 until 1987. Then, in through an amazing twist of fate (full story likely to follow in car of the month feature - Thanks Carl for the prodding), purchased the car again in 2015. Full restoration completed about a year ago with a return to its original tropic turquoise exterior and ivory and black interior. Although the original 327 is long gone and replaced with a 350, the factory M20 4 speed still resides.

 Great to see you here Brian and I hope we can meet in person some day soon. 

Future feature car for Canadian Poncho, no doubt!

Great to see all of the unique trim, hood spear, reverse lights etc all in tact!

Mostly, yes. The backup lights couldn't be salvaged (typical), and went with 66 GTO backup lights in their place. Similar, but not quite as deep a profile. Also, one of the lower crease line moldings was also too pitted to put back and couldn't find a better replacement. Fortunately the ingenuity and craftmanship of Brian Klassen came to the rescue by cutting a replica from solid stock aluminum, delicately trimming and sanding to match the existing reveal, then polishing the heck out of it until it looked like the rest of the brightwork. Hard to tell unless you're up close to it.
