Spanish47 Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Merry Christmas to all!!I write this from Spain where I'm starting to restore a 1947 56-C Buick.The rear fenders are in quite bad condition so I would like to get some information about where to find them in good shape (please consider I should transport them to Europe,if I'am not 100% positive they are really good I wont buy them)Can you tell me if the ones from the sedanette 56-S would fit also the convertible?Many thanks in advance for your help,Mateo Buendía Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 This`s what`s in the parts book 8.203. The best you can do is to buy 1 Body and 1 Chassie part books that ended in 1950-1952 that will cover almost everyting on your 1947 Buick.If looking at e-bay you sometimes can find them a lot cheaper than $150/each.And remember you need the books now,not when the care are restored.!Leif in Sweden.And Happy New Year to you to.

retirednow Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Leif just beat me to it. I use this book (has both the body an chassis parts books in 1) http://www.ebay.com/itm/1950-1951-1952-1953-1954-Buick-Part-Numbers-Book-List-Interchange-illustrations-/230818275821?pt=Motors_Manuals_Literature&hash=item35bdd761ed&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 53 Roady Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 I bought a "53 Chassis and Body Parts Book" copy. It is incomplete and unorganized. Will the Master Book on the CD really have all the 53 parts? For example will the 10 to 12 tubes for the hydraulic windows be listed? And photos? Thanks for your help?Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish47 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 Thank you very much for your replys.I had the parts book and shop manual but I didn't know how to look for info on them.What I really need now is some help to try to find the parts I need:-Good source for motor mounts and the rest of the body boelts.-A good Buick specialist for rear fenders and some mouldings-Wiring harness-The best available reproduction floor and trunk pans.A would appreciate any information,living out of the USA makes the task double difficult!!

jackofalltrades70 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 (edited) MateoFeel free to contact me for more information. Hablo Espanol! I have been working on a 1947 Roadmaster convertible for several years. There aren't really any floor pans or correct rockers available for our cars. Parts are harder and harder to find as the only ones available are parts cars in salvage yards. The parts you are looking for are usually in the same or worse condition, so fabrication skills are a must.Please post pictures of your car. We love pictures!

Bob Engle Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The manuals on CD's will only frustrate you. They are just scanned pages from manuals and are not organized for easy access of info. You end up searching page by page.Bob Engle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spanish47 Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) HI Jack,Thanks a lot for your answer.I know how hard is to find parts for this car,specially these aren't interchangeable with the 4dr closed models...but anyway I'll keep searching.I have found on Hemmings Motor News an advert from somebody saying is parting out 3 1948 Buick convertibles but I have called to the phone number 5 0 6 times and he never answered...I'll insist, I need at least all the upper door moldingns and those around the folding top and maybe the rear fenders..I'll try to post some pictures when I have some available.Best Regards!

Spanish47 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hello everyone,I'd like to know if somebody here has used the floor panels from BUICK FARM since I'm planning to buy them for my Buick 1947 56-C restoration.If positive I would appreciate your feedback about fitting,metal gauge,if they are close to the orginal stuff etc.it seems Buick Farm hasn't got the sheetmetal for the trunk section.Any idea if any company fabricates it?Many thanks in advance for your answers!!
