New today. The info on this site is excellnet so far. I am quite amazed ! Just wondering if someone can tell me who has the best quality replacement interior parts ? (i.e - door panels, seat covers, package tray ) Just got my GS a few months ago and have found Poston , Year one and few others sell interiior stuff. Or is there a forum I should be looking into here for this ? Thanx guys
Welcome! Yea who knew there were so many Buick faithful out there. Each of us though we were alone until this internet thing took off. :laugh: Try www.legendaryautointeriors.com many have said their items are top notch. Tell us more about your car and how long you have had this Buick infection.
Thanks very much. Car is from Texas and is 1970 GS 455 A/C buckets console . Few other basic options . I love the car ! Tried to upload pix. But pix is 412kb and way to get large pixs uploaded ??
We think there are only two place for panels. PUI(TN) and Legendary(NY). For carpet Auto Custom Interiors(Ala.) For package trays REM (Pa). Most others are middle men.
I got my seat covers from Legendary and they are super nice, I love them. I think max file size is 186k or something close to that. If you resize your pics to 600X600 pixels or smaller you should be good to go. :beer
didn't happen to get the car out of NY did you maybe from a guy named John?? just curious a friend of mine just recently purchased a car like that and sold it sounds strangly like the same car....hmmmm Rich Martel 70 GS 455
Wow. Thanks guys . I cannot believe how many replied so quickly !!! Looks like Legendary is the place to go with for seat covers and door panels. Any body got seat covers fron PUI ?? I care a bit about cost but...would rather pay more for a superior product. Car was here in Ontario. since 94. First re-paint in 95 and needs some cosmetic work. But super solid car. ( I would tell the guys on my Pontiac forum , but the ride and handling is better than the my GTOs.) Here is my first chance at re-sized pix. Thanx again.
What is the consensus on OPGI? They are here in So Cal and have a showroom so I could actually check their stuff out before buying, plus they have some pretty good holiday specials. Dan
I have had no direct dealing with OPGI but my best friend has. He had ordered just about every part under the sun for his 70 SS Chevelle and had had decent service then he ran into a few problems. First he had a air cleaner sent to him that he did not order. He called them and told him about it and they told him that if he wanted to ship it back he would have to pay for shipping or keep it and pay the full price for the air cleaner. It took him a week or so and then they recanted and sent a parcel pickup at no charge. Then the show stopper. He ordered a original style headliner and then took his car to have the seats recovered (with the covers he ordered from OPGI) and all the other interior peices installed. When the shop went to install the headliner it as about a foot to short. The he contacted OPGI and told them of this incident. They told him that he had waited too long to install it and that it had shrunk!!! He was livid. They told him that they would not send him another one and that was final. That was the last time that they got any of his money and since I know of his ordeal they will never get any of mine. Later, Bart
Another Canadian!!! Yeah baby!!! :beer Car looks nice. Glad you found the site. Legendary is awesome, I have reviews on my website, no complaints (in case you don't know, click on my username in upper LH corner and a menu will pop up, link to website is in menu). later Tim
Hey Bart: Thanks for the good info. The last thing I would want is to get my seats uncovered and then find something wrong with the new seatcovers and be SOL. Regards Dan
OPGI (and Y1) are just selling seat covers manufactured by either of the other two MANUFACTURER's listed WELCOME :beer :beer
Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification. The amount of information contained by members on this board is amazing! Dan :beer
I guess I may have been misleading in my original post, it was actually the headliner that did not fit (too short). Later, Bart
Hi, I'm New To The Site. But Found This Info Helpful. I'm Looking For Nos Replacement Caps & Cones For 15x7 Buick Mags. Any Thoughts Thanks Dennis
1965-1978 Rivs with chrome plated rims have 15X6 rims. The 15X7 were used in the on the eighties Electras. The design of these wheels changed many times over the years. Before you buy the correct cone center caps, be sure that you have the correct wheels for your car. One easy way to tell it if your wheels will allow to mount the 66-70 cone hubcaps is by measuring the diameter of the hole for the center cap mounting. If it is 2 1/8" it is correct, if it is 2" it is too small. 1964-65 wheels have the same design and backspacing and both models will fit your car but they have the 2" hole. 1971 and newer wheels will also have the 2" hole but they will also have too much backspacing for pre-1971 cars and will reduce the car's track by 1". They might also cause some tires to rub. If your car has front disc brakes, it will accept only one model of wheel (for 67 full size Buicks with disc brakes and all 68-70 full size Buicks). If your car has drum brakes, the corect wheels will be those for 66-and 67 Wildcat and Riviera models without disc brakes but the 68-70 style wheels will also fit and allow to mount the corect center caps. Mitch Romanowski has reproduction center caps. His phone number is 847-705-5761 and here is his email adress: mitchromanowski@lightfirst.com Here is a picture of a 67 disc brakes and 68-70 wheel (from my 67 Riv). The red arrow points where the shape is different to clear the capliers.
