    Looking for a trunk plate for my dad's '68 Buick GS 400. He doesn't know how to use the "internet machine" so it's my job to try to find this rare emblem. Last piece needed! Any help is much appreciated.

    I'm home. I brought the GS 400 trunk plate to BCA to clean/ polish/ take pics of... However, my camera battery died (after taking 238 pics of 'Buicks in barns'. Both DL and Mark Lob saw said name plate... It's sitting in the trunk of the 72 GS Stage 1 ragtop I drove... I also found a second one... I will try and get the owner to get some pics....

    Sorry.. I did find 2 for ya...:Dou:

    No problem George. Can't wait to see some pics, so I can decide which way I'm going to go. Thanks for the effort!

    Any suggestion on how to dress up this emblem? The black background is pretty faded on mine.

    These emblems typically need to be repainted. Many have used Testors model paints for this, myself included. Clean thoroughly first, of course.
