This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    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!

    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!

    Try Ebay.
    Some models have reproductions being made.

    69GS400s ...my own amusement ride!

    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
