I like that it's spring. I don't like that I didn't get as much done on this car over the winter as I had hoped for but we had quite a long time away this winter too. So be it.
Anyway, I had to take it off the hoist the other day to do some maintenance on our daughter's car so I took a few pics while it was outside.
When I was young, yellow was way down my list for colour choice on these cars but I really started to like it many years ago.
Looks great Carl, bet it looks really good in person.

Nice car. especially the colour! Did it have a vinyl roof originally or do all Grande.s have that moulding?
I believe the Ken the former owner added them. It was originally a solid yellow paint job just like it is but I think minus the mouldings.
On Canadian Beaumonts, Chevelles and Novas for a few years you could order D99 two-tone mouldings as an option but I'm not so sure it was allowed on the full size cars.

I'd forgotten your Custom Sport was an original power antenna car. You better start looking for an original 66 Corvette power antenna (virtually identical to the Pontiac unit) before they become unavailable and/or unobtainable.

Actually the vinyl top moldings were on the car when I got it but it was not a vinyl top car so I don't know why it had them. Only thing I can figure is that it was owned as a demo by the Enerson family of Enerson motors of Lethbridge and they might have intended to put a vinyl top on but never did. Just as well really.
66 CS , 66 GP and a 67 Caprice all with factory rear power antennas missing. I`m gonna need 3
The CS and GP antenna is not the same as the Caprice though from what I've seen. The 66 full size Canadian Pontiacs (not US, just Canadian) use a very unique antenna that is almost totally 66 Corvette.
I'll have to see what I can find for the 67 Caprice.
