Hi Guys, for my 1970 Buick Le Sabre Custom I'm looking for the three 'emblems' that are located above the front wheels on each side (see pic). I'm from Amsterdam (no shops here) so I have to find them on the internet but I don't know how to call them... Stupid problem. Please help me out: How do you call these things and where can I find them? Thanks!
Page down to the section, "Distinguishing features," for "ventiports": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buick Your English is better than our Dutch.
thanks Smarten, 'ventiports' indeed, better known as 'portholes'. This info opened a new world on the net for me :eek2: why are they there and on which cars? I found it on http://www.buickpartsdirectory.com/portholes.htm only question remaining: where to buy them, I saw lots of different shapes but I just need 6 simple rectangle ones as shown on the pic... anybody? @flynbuick: don't worry about your Dutch, our cars speak the same language!
Why ? Decoration/ornamentation Which cars ? Im certainly no expert on 1970 big cars but that sort of trim is usually specific to each year and model of car, so you would most likely need them from a 1970 LeSabre. Certainly, other ones can be used from different models / years
thanks Alan, but those questions were answered in the url I added: http://www.buickpartsdirectory.com/portholes.htm ---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 PM ----------

Thanks for this warm welcome Erik, and for the tips on how to behave here. The world is small indeed, sorry for the typing error Adam
