yes, there were 2 versions of the 67 brochure. an early and a late edition. i have both if you ever want to see them.

Here are the early edition pages that are unique. i will try to scan the blue convertible page, i seem to have misplaced my jpg of it.

and here is the Second edition showing the differences, the remainder of the pages in both editions remain identical.

Let me know if my pictures dont load. they are very large files, maybe someone can make them bigger?

The second edition cover art shows the same car with the twin bulge hood added, and looky, a bench seat in place of the buckets. The 325-horse 396 was added to the Beaumont lineup as the base engine in the new 738-series.

One goofy aspect of the changeover was the re-assigning the same RPO, A51. A51 used to mean conversion to Sport Deluxe with buckets, console & trim changes. Mid year it changed to simply mean bucket seats. If you wanted a console you'd now

have to spec D55. Some salesmen didn't read the memo. I know of two cars whose orders were in the pipeline that were built differently from what the purchasers expected. One was a Beaumont Custom with buckets & a column shift Powerglide when

a Sport Deluxe was expected. A similar thing happened to a Chevelle Malibu, a Malibu SS was expected but a column-shifted Malibu with buckets was the result.

In years of looking, the second edition brochure is far more rare.
I have both. Same with the Canadian Chevelle brochures.
