I was at a local show and shine a few days back and there was a 67 and 68 SD Beaumont big block car there. The decals on the air cleaner also say Beaumont along with the 396 325hp. Found it kind of interesting. I never noticed it before.

Never saw a Beaumont up close. In fact never saw a Beaumont at any show I've been at.

there was a guy either on this site or the Camaro site a couple of years ago that was making custom decals that looked stock for like $5 a piece.

Did it look something like this one? This one is the 67 SD that is on Ebay right now. It can't be the correct decal because the 375 HP 396 was not available in any Beaumont.

A Beaumont only sticker according to Beaumont owner I spoke with at the ACES/Northeast Regional today. He ordered the car and worked at the dealership where it was delivered as a mechanic.

I had a '66 396 360 hp Beaumont. GM Oshawa didn't build L78 Beaumonts or I probably would have had one. Check with Canadian Classic Chevelles and Beaumonts. Don Earnshaw can probably put you in touch with the repro decals.
