Vintage_barry Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 What is the correct color for the 3/4" I.D. heater core hoses for a 57 Buick Special? I've got the fenders off so now is the time to replace the hoses with the correct colors. The current hoses are red but I think they may not be factory. Thanks for any help, Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Black. And make sure they aren't supposed to be 5/8" Edited May 24, 2015 by buick5563 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick man Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 To be completely on the money, believe they also had the 4 raised ribs running along the sides with the reddish stripe between them. But try and find those hoses today…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick5563 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 You might be able to find those hoses from a Vette supplier, but that seems like a lot of pain for little gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick man Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 …. true, but then you will be holding the pure stuff and aren't those Vette guys the Gods of Correctness ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
