Production numbers?

This is my wagon 73135...no production numbers for it yet Post #5. Thanks for trying.

 

Maybe they didn't make any ?

I have to think the number is going to be tiny given all the rest are.

You should find the original post on the Beaumont/Chevelle thread and PM the poster to see where they got their info from, then go to that source and see what they can tell you - that is if you have not done so already.

Regardless, you probably have one of the rarer wagons sold in Canada overall.

 

I have posted this http://www.yanktanks.co.uk/bg-files/bg-chevelle.htm
and then in post 29 I posted the mix that it shows. They didn't make many!

 

You are right Fox - I missed that part of that post. So if I read it right, from 1965 to 1969 they made a total of 66 wagons like Fannie's

1965/66/67/68/69 Beaumonts
731 6 cyl 11 Two door sedan to 67
27 Two door sedan 68 on
35 Four door wagon 6 pass 66 on so I believe that this is your model Fannie, for the five years total , it being 73135. That is what you said yours was, right? So average it out over the years for an approximate number.

Average of 13 a year. By 1968 it seems like most people were buying V8's in the part of the world where I lived.

 

Below is the section that has the 1st 3 digits of fannie's model number. Unfortunately, they don't have a number for 68 only. However, it's plain to see that they didn't make many wagons at all between 65 and 69. I marked the wagons in red.

27 Two door sedan 68 on
35 Four door wagon 6 pass 66 on
36 Four door wagon 9 pass 69 only
67 Convertible to 67
69 Four door sedan to 67
732 8 cyl 11 Two door sedan to 67
27 Two door sedan 68 only
35 Four door wagon 6 pass 66 on
36 Four door wagon 9 pass 69 only
67 Convertible to 67
69 Four door sedan to 67

 

I beleive you are getting very close. I got an email back from George Zapola(GM Vintage Vehicles) He seems to think that I should have gotten the production numbers and the dealer name where the car was sold in the package that was sent to me December 2010. So I've sent off another email explaining that I didn't get that info. So we'll have to see what happens...but not until next week sometime...long weekend.
Thanks you guys for trying to figure this out for me.

 

Someone has to.

 

Sad but true...really wasn't necessary to point it out though!

 

Actually Fannie - was having fun with this. I love Beaumont's, Canso's, the the big block Pontiac 2+2's of the later sixties (396 and 427 cars). Also the 348 and then 409 1958's to 1964's.

So checking out the websites looking for what you wanted was a trip down memory lane.

Let us know what Zapola comes back with.

 

Cool!

For sure, I'll let you know what Zapola says. Fingers crossed.

 

I got it.....

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


Guess how many Beaumont wagons model# 73135 were built in 1968?

Go on guess.



I'm going to wash the dishes, I'll be back.

 

I think fannie finally found the exact number somewhere!

 

17 (what do I win?)

What do you mean wash the dishes? Don't you have a dishwasher? Oh wait, thats right, the kids have moved out.

 

OK, fannie! I'm getting tired of dancing around here in anticipation! Did you have the Royal Mounted Police over for dinner?? Nobody washes dishes THAT long.
HOW MANY????

 

Well, I went to wash the dishes and looked out the window to see my sheets that I hung out the AM. So I had to go get them. But my daughter had put some of her things on the line so I folded them and took them up to her, to find her sick in bed with a cold. So I took her dog out for a pee and a game of fetch. Then came back to finish the dishes. But then I had to iron my work clothes. Then my mom and sister stopped in...gab gab gab... and now then the number we have ALL been waiting for...











279.


Cool, right?
