I like that white 68 SD convertible. It is one of only 65 built and only 9 or 10 known. I don't know about the seller's claim of his being 1 of 5 or so in the states. With 16,731 Beaumonts being built in 1969 I would say there are more than 5 in the states.
I have several pictures of the El Camino with the Beaumont front clip that I took when Lee had it at Chevellabration. Didn't Lee pass away a year or so after that show?
As Bill mentioned, if you want to see Beaumonts make a trip to the CanAm show in Grand Island NY. I saw 13 the year I was there.

Sadly yes.
Also about the same time as the demise of the NW ACES regional.
I attended the ACES show held in Des Moine (Seattle) a few years ago. Many Elkys present in that region.

The interior of the Beaumonts for the most part is the same as chevelles except for a few emblems and the Pontiac dash. Below is the Photobucket link to pictures of my 68 Beaumont.

I thought that 2 years ago there were 3 or 4 Beaumonts at the Ohio show. I remember talking to at least 2 owners about their cars. The first time I ever saw a Beaumont was at the Frankenmuth, Michigan show about 4 years ago.

The first time I ever saw a Beaumont it was at the Peachstate Chevelle Show and it was and is owned by James from the above posts and he answered my many questions about it .His is also a beauty and the first one I fell in love with .I really like the Beaumonts and Acadians for their unique designs and BadASS good looks .
