Good Morning fellow Buick Lovers: I'm trying to locate a set of door edge guards for my newly acquired 1965 Riviera. It is my understanding they also fit the 1963 & 1964 Rivieras. As close as I've come is getting the part # & grp. Part # 980544 Grp. # 8.132 If anyone knows where a set might be located, it sure would make my day complete. I am also open to a used set that have not been dented beyond repair. Thank you for anything you can do to help. Sincerely, Bill Renico Grand Blanc, MI. BCA # 12434 ROA # 7997
Bill, I went through this exact same thing (V8Buick and BCA) a few months back. I ended up getting a 3- set and filing, grinding, polishing. They came out close to number 2 condition. Good enough for me. NOS is getting quite hard to find. The last set I saw (new) on ebay ended up near 200 and that was over a year ago. Also, most good metalworkers, unless they are tied in a knot can make your set look new or real close to in for fairly short money if banging steel is not for you. Good luck, Steve
