    I have a 67 Buick Special. I am looking for some AM radio knobs for it and am having no luck.

    Also the dirver side seat is torn pretty bad. I look at the seat covers on Year One and they are nothing like mine. Does anyone make Special style seat covers, all I find are the skylark/gs style. I also would like to replace the door panels and am in the same situation as the seat covers.

    the radio knobs are on ebay from time to time you may have to buy a complete radio no one makes seat covers for the special you will have to have them remade from scratch at an upholserer of go with the skylark covers i have the same car and it cost me about 700.00 for the front seatood luck Gerry

    Hey Gary - Did they match up the Special covers on the front seat accurately? Can you post a picture? I'm in a similar situation. Who did it?

    I found a reputable guy here in chicago who would reupholter the whole front sesat mathced to the orignal back seat for $500, including material. I will probably do it in November.

    I agree with the others...The only solution I found was to buy NOS material (year one had mine) and have the cover made from scratch. In my case the car had nice door panels and only needed the front cover done.

    If you need door panels you will likely have to compromise and use Skylark stuff there. This is a picture of the final product...

    Those look nice. My door Panels are pretty bad on the bottom edge. The rear seat is fine, the front is the one that has to be redone. Someone told me there is a guy in Oregon who can redue the original door panels, but its pretty pricey.
