    Well, the magazine will definitely have sources for parts.

    Hemmings itself doesn't sell parts, they are an advertising medium for places that DO sell parts- New, Reproduction, NOS (New Old Stock, meaning original parts still in their original unopened packaging), Used/remanufactured, and Used parts. They list entries for save yards as well as businesses that sell new parts only. The magazine is very different from the website. Don't let the site fool you- Hemmings has been around a loooooong time.

    Hey Josh, neato rivvy. I think part of the problem is there might not be a lot of junkyards in the ontario kitchener area or not a lot of members from that area. You might have to do some traveling to find a junkyard that has parts for your car. I found 1 Apollo in an almost 50 mi radius.

    Another idea is the site buickpartsdirectory.com, that might help in your search for parts.
