|| Beaumonts : Anyone Build One ? ||

[1972coronet]

The latest issue of Muscle Car Review features a 1965 Acadian L-79 , beautifully and painstakingly restored . The article re-catalysed my interest in those Canadian G.M. models , and got my mind going : 

Does anyone offer --in resin-- Beaumont and / or Acadian conversion pieces ? 

Has anyone built one --via scratch-building--  ?

I'd really like to convert the new(ish) AMT 1968 El Camino to a phantom 1968 Beaumont SD-396 El Camino !

Model Car Garage I think had a 69 Chevelle photoetch set that included the bits needed to make a Beaumont including script and grille pieces. One just needed to scratch the tail lamps and source a GTO or LeMans/Tempest dash board. I'm still after all these years working on a 68 version. I'm just lazy I guess.

I started on a 63 Acadian conversion for the AMT annual kit. but its been stalled for a couple years. too much on the go. Fortunately I have a bunch of 1:1 on hand for measurements etc.

I built a 67 Acadian station wagon from the AMT 66 Nova with a Boss Nova roof added to it.  I modified the kit grill with pieces of Evergreen styrene.  I realized at a later time that the body side character line was not chrome molding and I have since removed it.
