Sorry to bring up an old thread. The car pictured is mine.
1970Turtle, I live in the Greenville area but have had the car at a show in Charleston. The emblem on the front is similar to the Pontiac spear but it is a little different. It has the Canadian maple leafs above the spear.
The Beaumonts are not Pontiacs. There is nothing in the owners manuals, sales brochures or any other GM released literature that mentions Pontiac. Also, the VIN on Chevys starts with a 1, Pontiacs starts with a 2 but the Beaumonts starts with a 7. Most Beaumonts were sold in Canada but a few went to other countries. I'm not sure bout other years and models but there were 702 1968 SD396s built with 680 being sold in Canada. They could not be sold in the US.
