Acadian Sport Deluxe hoods etc.

I'd add one too but weren't the 66/67 Beaumonts all originally shipped w/ flat hoods...even the Mk1V cars? .

What I've learned so far, is that the early 67 Sport Deluxe cars came with a flat hood and had a regular Beaumont 736 model VIN number. Some time between October 27/66 and January 5/67 the Sport Deluxe's were assigned a special 738 model VIN number and at some point started receiving the big block hood. The early dealer brochures showed the Sport Deluxe with a flat hood and later ones showed the Sport Deluxe with a big block hood.

Canadian built Malibu SS and Chevelle SS models apparently went through some changes during the 67 model year but I don't know the details.

Helmet,

Thanks for any clarification on these...I've never been quite sure what the situation was?? .

So all '66's were flat hood, Mk1V included? .

And on '67's, besides the brochures, have you seen absolute examples of the SS hood on these...also if they did start showing up at whatever date, do you know if they did continue on all Mk1V cars to the end of '67 production?

On the factory Canadian SS small block cars (I've always found not a lot of US guys know these existed), the SS hood wasn't available even as an option was it? .

Thanks!

I can't say about the 66's... don't know much about them. I do know for certain that some 67 Beaumont SD's received the big block hood.

Should we start a specific thread on this topic?

Sorry for hijacking your thread. .
I'm not that concerned about the hoods...just thought I'd bone up on some knowledge and try and fill in some missing gaps of what I understood. .
I appreciate what info you've relayed so far Helmet...anyone else w/ any knowledge on these? .

No problem... I'd also appreciate any further information that members can share. Can we rename this thread, or copy these posts into an appropriately named thread so it attracts the right attention?
