Beaumont/Acadian drag car pics........

Does anyone have any Beaumont/acadian drag car pics? ive always thought these canadian muscle cars were pretty cool

 

I like these cars. I always called them a "Poor Mans Chevy"

 

"Poor Mans Chevy" - thats funny considering they were marketed as upscale compared to the chevrolet!

 

Are they hard to find or find parts for in canada?

 

Most parts are interchangeable with their Chevy equivalents........other than the grilles, emblems, interior accessories. There are guys here who specialize in Acadian/Beaumont parts.
I had a '67 and '69 Beaumont SD396. The '69 had a bench seat, column shift, brown with a black vinyl roof. I drove it to Detroit one day from Windsor. As I pulled into a gas station, the attendant came running out and asked "Well, wha kind of Shee-Vell is that?" I guess you had to be there to see the humor of it.

 

Ive been thinking about using a 64 beaumont grill in my chevelle, i cant seem to find one

 

Post and intro on www.Canadianrodder.com I've seen Acadian/Beaumont parts for sale on occasion.

 

Thanks, ill try it tonight!
