New to Forum, From South Carolina
Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. My name in James. I live in Laurens South Carolina. I own a 1968 Beaumont SD396. For those not familiar with the Beaumonts, it is basically a Canadian version of the Chevelle. They were built by General Motors of Canada and sold through Pontiac dealers in Canada. They are concidered to be a Pontiac but they were built on a Chevelle chassis with a Chevy drivetrain. Mine is a factory SD, same as the SS. SD stands for Super Deluxe. The 396 is long gone. It now has a 427. These cars are much rarer than their American counterpart. There were over 50,000 68 Chevelle SSs built, but only 702 68 Beaumont SDs built. I'm ready for the cruise-in season to start.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
