Hi I have bought me a 76 Buick Electra Limited 4drht and I am looking for lower part of the door panels, the armrests are in bad shape. Anybody who knows were to get new ones or nice used ones. They are blue vinyl.The car is still in the USA,I live in Norway.So the parts will have to be shipped to dealer in MO ,were I bought the car. I will appreciate all help or tips to find it.
Can't help you with the armrests, but that's the car I learned to drive on, same interior exactly, white exterior....loved that car. glad to see another one being saved and loved.... :laugh:
I am going to MO to pick up the car in May and see it for real, for the first time. I and a friend are going to use it on vacation in the USA for 3 weeks. I have had a lot of American cars thru the years, but this is my first Buick. I will maybe store it somewhere in the USA until November, since I and the wife and kids are going to Florida for 14 days. And ship it home after that. Since it is a 1976 model, I cant get it licensed in Norway before 2006, then it is a classic and there isnt any tax to pay when I import it. I think this will be the first 76 Electra Limited in Norway. I really love these full-size cars. But the gas price in Norway is 7$ a gallon these days ou: , so its expensive to use them over here, but its worth every penny compared to drive a non USA car. :laugh:
If the armrests are the same, I have a 77 Electra Limited 4dr also with a blue interior, pm me and we'll figure something out if you are interested
They won't work---totally different body style--1977 was the first yr of GM downsizing their big cars.
ive got some 2 door 75 electra blue armrests that have very little damage. you could strip the plactic off of them and make the plastic fit onto your 4 door. as far as foam wear, i put clear silicon rtv ontop of mine before i had them recovered. also when i was at the normandy 60 annaversary in june 6 2004, there was a 75 or 76 4 door buick electra there aslo. i think they were from norway also
Look on ebay, covers for front doors in plastic Hello, there are new covers on ebay in "76 buick" for the front doors, they are like 95 dollars for the pair, you mount your carpet and surround trim to the deluxe doors. the lower doors are not available for the cheaper 225 door of the 75-76, and no the 77 will not work. all 71-76 doors front interchange metal bodys, the back doors body metal however are 75-76 only on the 4 door. Interior parts have some interchange to Olds 98 and 88, some parts interchange. Ihave 2 park ave (1-75 and 1-76 and one 76 225) and a 72 modified electra, The covers glue over old and fit well, but will have to dye, as come in white. craig
